"That Was Then" lyrics
Goin' through changes
From back where I once began
A distant stranger I used to know
So long ago, yeah, yeah, yeah
Enlighten me, 'lightenin me, up
Make me all over again
Come on and let me in, yeah
It was like a lifetime passed right through my fingers
(Through my fingers)
So long ago, so much that I didn't know
(So much that I didn't know)
Kind of like a light shined down and showed me how
How to to move on
That was then and this is now
Waking up it seems
Am I the dreamer or the dream?
Is it possible to know? (Is it possible to know?)
Tomorrow unfolds too slow, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Shakin' me, wakin' up
Clearing my vision again
Seems like I'm born again, oh, ooh
It was like a lifetime passed right through my fingers
(Through my fingers)
So long ago, so much that I didn't know
(So much that I didn't know)
Kind of like a light shined down and showed me how
(Showed me how) How to move on
(How to move on) That was then and this is now
(This is now)
Like a lifetime passed right through my fingers
(Through my fingers, yeah) So long ago
(So long ago) So much that I didn't know
(So much that I did not know, yeah)
Kind of like a light shined down and showed me how
(Showed me how, yeah) How to move on
(How to move on) That was then and this is now
(That was then, this is now)
Goin' through changes
Back where we once began
Goin' through changes (Goin' through these changes, yeah)
It was like a lifetime passed right through my fingers
(Through my fingers)
So long ago (So long ago)
So much that I didn't know (So much I didn't know)
Kind of like a light shined down and showed me how
(Showed me how) How to move on
(How to move on) That was then and this is now
(How to move on, yeah)
It was like a lifetime passed right through my fingers
(Through my fingers)
So long ago, so much that I didn't know (So many things, yeah)
Kind of like a light shined down and showed me how
(Showed me how) How to move on
(How to move on) That was then and this is now
(That was then, this is now)
It was like a lifetime passed right through my fingers
(Like a lifetime, lifetime) So long ago (So long ago)
So much that I didn't know (So much I didn't know)
Kind of like a light shined down and showed me how
(Showed me how, yeah) How to move on
(How to move on) That was then and this is now
(How to move on)
From back where I once began
A distant stranger I used to know
So long ago, yeah, yeah, yeah
Enlighten me, 'lightenin me, up
Make me all over again
Come on and let me in, yeah
It was like a lifetime passed right through my fingers
(Through my fingers)
So long ago, so much that I didn't know
(So much that I didn't know)
Kind of like a light shined down and showed me how
How to to move on
That was then and this is now
Waking up it seems
Am I the dreamer or the dream?
Is it possible to know? (Is it possible to know?)
Tomorrow unfolds too slow, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Shakin' me, wakin' up
Clearing my vision again
Seems like I'm born again, oh, ooh
It was like a lifetime passed right through my fingers
(Through my fingers)
So long ago, so much that I didn't know
(So much that I didn't know)
Kind of like a light shined down and showed me how
(Showed me how) How to move on
(How to move on) That was then and this is now
(This is now)
Like a lifetime passed right through my fingers
(Through my fingers, yeah) So long ago
(So long ago) So much that I didn't know
(So much that I did not know, yeah)
Kind of like a light shined down and showed me how
(Showed me how, yeah) How to move on
(How to move on) That was then and this is now
(That was then, this is now)
Goin' through changes
Back where we once began
Goin' through changes (Goin' through these changes, yeah)
It was like a lifetime passed right through my fingers
(Through my fingers)
So long ago (So long ago)
So much that I didn't know (So much I didn't know)
Kind of like a light shined down and showed me how
(Showed me how) How to move on
(How to move on) That was then and this is now
(How to move on, yeah)
It was like a lifetime passed right through my fingers
(Through my fingers)
So long ago, so much that I didn't know (So many things, yeah)
Kind of like a light shined down and showed me how
(Showed me how) How to move on
(How to move on) That was then and this is now
(That was then, this is now)
It was like a lifetime passed right through my fingers
(Like a lifetime, lifetime) So long ago (So long ago)
So much that I didn't know (So much I didn't know)
Kind of like a light shined down and showed me how
(Showed me how, yeah) How to move on
(How to move on) That was then and this is now
(How to move on)
