Now and Then -

I met you there, outside your house

Oh, we both had so much too say

We were nervous and afraid

Breaking at the verge of tears

As we recall all the memories

And the fondest of our years

I’m driving down familiar routes

And all that time spent in parking lots

Just searching for a truce

But there was then and this is now

And we both are better off

My lightning strike, those big brown eyes

And countless nights we fought

There’s no use in trying to bring back what is lost, lost

Well, there’s no use in trying to bring back what is…

Lost inside a fading glow

Glued together by our past

And a future that will never know

But these memories aren’t a cornerstone

They’re just a reoccurring burden

Which I must learn to let go

'Cause there was then and this is now

And we both are better off

My lightning strike, those big brown eyes

And countless nights we fought

There’s no use in trying to bring back what is lost, lost

'Cause there’s no use in trying to bring back what is…

How do we let go when it’s all we’ve ever known?

And this space between our lives will grow

Here in the void, I’ll say your name

As it sounded out, it’s not the same

'Cause there was then and this is now

And we both are better off

My lightning strike, those big brown eyes

Before that love we fought

We can drag it out until the dirt

But darling, I’d fought 'cause

There’s no use in trying to bring back what is lost, lost

'Cause there’s no use in trying to bring back what is lost

Yeah, there’s no use in trying to bring back what is lost
