I remember how it started out,
just the two of us, no yells, no shouts
Then the monsters came and turned it all around.
We weren't safe, we weren’t sane
We weren't safe, we weren't sane
Oh-oh taken to a place far away
where the monsters hide and we’re safe to play--
That's where i wanna be, yeah
But we can’t walk, we can’t run
we can’t walk, we can’t run
{C}
Oh, back then, i thought we could last long
Back then, I thought we would make it strong
Back then, I believed we were safe,
I believed we were sane,
That we could walk miles without any pain.
Do you remember what I told you
Those years and years ago
About the flowers that withered when they lost that dire hope.
And although we had to split apart
You'll always be there quiet in my heart,
Just say you love me just as so
As you did all those other folks.
When I lost you I lost you most
When you never said goodbye to me
that night when you left me,
And only me.
{C}
Oh, back then, i thought we could last long
Back then, I thought we would make it strong
Back then, I believed we were safe,
I believed we were sane,
That we could walk miles without any pain.
But I’m glad that pain’s gone
Now I can move on
And say, ‘life’s a pain in the butt.’
But I’m not stupid,
So I know I should forgive you since you’re still gone.
Why not sing a silly song about how I think of you?
Eh, I think maybe I am stupid to say all this…
Just to remind you--
{C}
Back then, I thought we could last long
Back then, I thought we would make it strong
Back then, I believed we were safe,
I believed we were sane,
That we could walk miles without any pain.
