Ian Thomas
There Was a Time
[Verse 1]
Never before had I felt so safe
I'd open my eyes to see you laying there
So insecure, I felt just like a fake
How could anybody really care?
Care for me?
Care to see?
I don't like you knowing where I started
[Chorus]
There was a time
I was a lonely highway
One of the lights they passed like ghosts
You came up close and stayed
There was a time
You always had the answers
Your words spun like dancers with my pride
I push your words away
[Verse 2]
Regardless of where I was and what I said
Look where this front of mine has led me to
Now I can see just how far you would've gone
I understand you would've taken me with you
And you knew
All along
You were in the right and I was wrong
[Chorus]
There was a time
I was a lonely highway
One of the lights they passed like ghosts
You came up close and stayed
There was a time
You always had the answers
Your words spun like dancers with my pride
I push your words away
[Bridge]
The past has such a hold on me
You're the one
That set me free
So where do you belong now?
If I could back there, do it all again
[Chorus]
There was a time
I was a lonely highway
One of the lights they passed like ghosts
You came up close and stayed
There was a time
You always had the answers
Your words spun like dancers with my pride
I push your words away
[Outro]
Pushed your words away
You always have the answers
If I could go back there and do it all again
