Charley
Why can't it be like it was?
I liked it the way that it was
Charley
You and me, we were nicer then

We were nice
Kids and cities and trees were nice
Everything
I don't know who we are anymore
And I'm starting not to care

Look at us, Charley
Nothing's the way that it was
I want it the way that it was
Help me stop remembering then

Don't you remember?
It was good, it was really good
Help me out, Charley
Make it like it was

Charley
Nothing's the way that it was
I want it the way that it was
God knows things were easier then
Trouble is, Charley
That's what everyone does
Blames the way it is
On the way it was
On the way it never ever was
