[Verse 1]
Andy, are you playing it in stereo?
How'd you get it sounding so full?
I don't want to know if you're playing along
To a track or a tape, it would feel so wrong
So wrong

[Verse 2]
You could be the better man
You could play it on your own again
Just like before you could afford the band
You were lighter then
You were lighter

[Verse 3]
Andy, are you craving stability?
Too many days lost to the road
This life can be hard
It takes a toll on your nerves
I know that you tried to stay ahead of the curve

[Verse 4]
If the music's in your hands
You could play it on your own again
On your own again
Just like before you could afford the band
You were lighter then
You werе lighter then
[Outro]
Beforе, before, before, before
Before, before, before, before
Before, before, before, before
Before, before, before, before
Before, before, before, before
Before, before, before, before
Before, before, before, before
Before, before, before, before
Before, before, before, before
Before, before, before, before
Before, before, before, before
Before, before, before, before
That's how it was before
