Lyrics to The Way It Was Before (End Credits Version)
Shattered walls
Empty hallways
Is that all we left behind
I recall
How we used to be
I see each moment in my mind
Endless talks
Celebrations
Aimless walks with our hands entwined
Most of all there was love to spare
And magic everywhere
We breathed it in like air
But no one's there now
I wish I knew the way back
To the way it was before
With you there in your old familiar place
Reliving every day back
When my heart learned how to soar
Every smile, each embrace
If I could find a way back
To the way it was before
And we could be together there right now
I'd run without delay
Back to the way it was before
Run like mad
To what we had
If only I knew how (Hey)
With you here
I was fearless
Year by year I grew sure and strong
Now it's clear
What I really need
Is what you gave me all along
The lessons that you taught me
And all the plans we laid
The winters by the fire
And the summers in the shade
The stars we used to wish on
And the wishes that we made
Things like that must live on
Can we go to where they've gone?
There's got to be a way back
To the way it was before
To stand with you again on solid ground
We'll spend one perfect day back
In the way it was before
Just one day
Then one more
Maybe three
Why keep score
Let's just stay
The way it was before
Empty hallways
Is that all we left behind
I recall
How we used to be
I see each moment in my mind
Endless talks
Celebrations
Aimless walks with our hands entwined
Most of all there was love to spare
And magic everywhere
We breathed it in like air
But no one's there now
I wish I knew the way back
To the way it was before
With you there in your old familiar place
Reliving every day back
When my heart learned how to soar
Every smile, each embrace
If I could find a way back
To the way it was before
And we could be together there right now
I'd run without delay
Back to the way it was before
Run like mad
To what we had
If only I knew how (Hey)
With you here
I was fearless
Year by year I grew sure and strong
Now it's clear
What I really need
Is what you gave me all along
The lessons that you taught me
And all the plans we laid
The winters by the fire
And the summers in the shade
The stars we used to wish on
And the wishes that we made
Things like that must live on
Can we go to where they've gone?
There's got to be a way back
To the way it was before
To stand with you again on solid ground
We'll spend one perfect day back
In the way it was before
Just one day
Then one more
Maybe three
Why keep score
Let's just stay
The way it was before
