Around this town there's nothing but the water
In it's day it held a kind of shine
Lives were made for better if not richer
The world made sense
At least a breath at a time
Now the paint's all peeling in twilight
The trees sway like nobody knows
I can see you the way I used to see you
In this used to be town
We used to know
Take me back I'll meet you by the water
We can dance as if we aren't old
We'll speak like lovers to each other
Laugh at all the simple lies
We were told
The paint's all peeling in twilight
The trees sway like nobody knows
We can marvel at being together
In this used to be town
We used to know
Around this town there's nothing but the water
In it's day it held a kind of shine
Lives were made for better if not richer
The world made sense
At least a breath at a time
Take me back
I'll meet you by the water
Take me back
I'll meet you by the water
In this used to be town
We used to know
In this used to be town
