Someone I Used to Know - Zac Brown Band

There's a picture that I carry One we made some time ago When they ask who's in the picture with me I say just someone I used to know Just someone, I used to spend some time with Just a flame, that's lost it's glow But I don't them of the nights I cried without you I say just someone I used to know Just someone, I used to run around with Just a friend from long ago I don't tell them, how lost I am without you I say just someone I used to know I say just someone I used to know

Four walls, two chests and the doorway To a room that has always stayed closed But sometimes that door can be opened By someone that you used to know. It's been many long years since I've seen her I got a letter just yesterday It seemed like it came out of no where And here's what she had to say. The years have gone by, some good and some bad But I never stop thinking 'bout the times that we had Oh, so meet me tomorrow where we used to go She signed it someone that you used to know. --- Instrumental --- Time is a river that flows down the stream Never to return to the place where it's been Still there's some people that stays in your soul Like someone that you used to know. The years have gone by, some good and some bad But I never stop thinking 'bout the times that we had Oh, so meet me tomorrow where we used to go She signed it someone that you used to know. Someone that you used to know...

I ain't gonna lie to you And say it didn't hurt To see you with someone new And you were wearing my old blue shirt But it didn't kill me until we said "Hello" And I became someone you used to know Like a friend, like a fool Like some guy you knew in school Didn't we love, didn't we share Or don't you even care I know we said we were through But I never knew how quickly I would go From someone you loved to someone you used to know Bet you didn't tell him about that weekend at the coast Or how we used to argue about who loved who the most Well, I guess I won that one, cause I still need you so But to you I'm just someone you used to know Like a friend, like a fool Like some guy you knew in school Didn't we love, didn't we share Or don't you even care I know we said we were through But I never knew how quickly I would go From someone you loved to someone you used to know Didn't we love, didn't we share Or don't you even care I know you said we were through But I never knew how quickly I would go From someone you loved to someone you used to know I'm not someone you love I'm someone you used to know

Time to let go Time to let go It's been a long time coming Of someone that I used to know Hometown hero at the bar Burned out high life super star You know Kept a buzz to fill the hole Loved the lights and stole the show Someone I used to know Would stay another round Someone I used to know Ran himself in the ground It's been a long time comin' Couldn't keep on runnin' Had to hit rock bottom to know When you keep on losin' With the path you're choosin' And it's time to let go Of someone that I used to know Time to let go Time to let go It's been a long time coming A long time coming Time to let go Time to let go It's been a long time coming Of someone that I used to know Time to let go Time to let go It's been a long time coming A long time coming Time to let go Time to let go It's been a long time coming Of someone that I used to know Rides the high that tears him down Hates himself and loves the crowd The king of fools, a heavy crown He didn't know we almost drowned Someone I used to know Would stay another round Someone I used to know Ran himself in the ground It's been a long time comin' Couldn't keep on runnin' Had to hit rock bottom to know When you keep on losin' With the path you're choosin' And it's time to let go Of someone that I used to know Time to let go Time to let go It's been a long time coming A long time coming Time to let go Time to let go It's been a long time coming Of someone that I used to know It's been a long time comin' Couldn't keep on runnin' Had to hit rock bottom to know When you keep on losin' With the path you're choosin' And it's time to let go Of someone that I used to know Time to let go Time to let go It's been a long time coming Of someone that I used to know

30 thousand feet above The city where I fell in love with you And the fadin concrete skyline Brings an urban lullaby That still rings true When I passed you on the street that day Should've let that red scarf fly away Like any chance I had of keeping you Like the Northern wind a blowin' Yeah my lonely heart is frozen Never knew I'd find a way to break yours too Where the wind blows babe You can bet I'll be riding high with it Holding on for my dear life Just like I always did Close your eyes babe Take a breath, say my name And I'll be there My love will find you anywhere Anywhere my love The city lights look like a country sky Like staring at the stars turned upside down I wish I may, I wish I might Find it in your heart to stick around I hate it had to end this way Tomorrow is a brand new day And the chances here at love are precious few Someone's out there waiting For a sweet good timing lady To make you smile like I always wanted to Where the wind blows babe You can bet I'll be riding high with it Holding on for my dear life Just like I always did Close your eyes babe Take a breath, say my name And I'll be there My love will find you anywhere Anywhere my love So I fly all night Our memory's, my lullaby that love won't lie If it's love done right You'll be waiting on the other side Arms open wide, if love don't lie Lie We can fly Where the wind blows babe You can bet I'll be riding high with it Holding on for my dear life Just like I always did Close your eyes babe Take a breath, say my name And I'll be there My love will find you anywhere Anywhere My love will find you anywhere Anywhere My love will find you anywhere Anywhere my love

My first best friend Was a six string Took him with me Everywhere I'd go When I was 18, bought a dodge van Found a drummer and made the road my home Ooh, I wouldn't change a thing It made the man I am today My roots Always keep me grounded Roots Remind me where I'm from Even when I'm a thousand miles away from my roots I'm home Every Friday You can find me At dixie tavern Playing with my band We start the show with a round of whiskey We played our hearts out and wished it never end Ooh, I wouldn't change a thing It made the man I am today My roots Always keep me grounded Roots Remind me where I'm from Even when I'm a thousand miles away from my roots I'm home We get 'em singing Don't stop believin' And follow up with a cold beer on a Friday night Always dreaming one day we're playing with All our heroes we cover every night Flying high all our dreams came true You've given me wings and Roots Always keep me grounded Roots Remind me where I'm from Even when I'm a thousand miles away from my roots I'm home My roots Always keep me grounded Roots Remind me where I'm from My roots Even when I'm a thousand miles away from my roots I'm home Don't give up Hold on a little longer What don't kill you Only makes you stronger Don't give up Hold on a little longer What don't kill you Only makes you stronger Don't give up Hold on a little longer What don't kill you Only makes you stronger Don't give up Hold on a little longer What don't kill you Only makes you stronger Don't give up Hold on a little longer What don't kill you Only gives you stronger roots
