Way That It Was - YEMI

I was shaking hands with the face of death In the amazon I was in a trance Tryna' catch my breath But I couldn't run When you came around I was on the ground Blood in my mouth And I realized the whole damn time I've been missing out (Hey!) Oh, we never gonna go back to the way it was Oh, and we're never gonna go back to the way we was Tell me if you wanna roll with the rest of us Cause, oh, it's never gonna go back to the way it was Did you get your fill? Have you seen it all? Have you had enough? It's a jagged pill you've been choking on You gotta cough it up Ain't it fine to forget your mind when you ride the wave Summertime is only one more breath away Just one more breath away Oh, we never gonna go back to the way it was Oh, and we're never gonna go back to the way we was Tell me if you wanna roll with the rest of us Cause, oh, it's never gonna go back to the way it was Na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na na The way it was Na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na na The way it was I don't need to know what we're heading for Babe, I'm not looking back Listen to your feet on the wooden floor Don't need nothing else but that You know you don't have to take Your past mistakes into the dawn So drop off your bags, don't break your back We're gonna keep moving on We're moving on, we're moving on We're moving on, we're moving on Oh, we never gonna go back to the way it was Oh, and we're never gonna go back to the way we was Tell me if you wanna roll with the rest of us Cause, oh, it's never gonna go back to the way it was The way it was, the way it was The way it was, the way it was

Yeah You are my fire The one desire Believe when I say But we are two worlds apart Can't reach to your heart When you say That I want it that way Tell me why Ain't nothin' but a heartache Tell me why Ain't nothin' but a mistake Tell me why I never wanna hear you say Am I your fire Your one desire Yes I know it's too late But I want it that way Now I can see that we're falling apart From the way that it used to be yeah No matter the distance I want you to know That deep down inside of me... You are my fire The one desire You are You are you are you are Don't wanna hear you say Ain't nothin' but a heartache Ain't nothin' but a mistake (Don't wanna hear you say) I never wanna hear you say Tell me why Ain't nothin' but a heartache Tell me why Ain't nothin but a mistake Tell me why I never wanna hear you say (Don't wanna hear you say it)

Oh-oh-oh Feels like yesterday I was living at my parents' house I blinked and things changed Fast forward and I was moving out I can only exist in three dimensions at a time Who am I to resist a river flowing left to right? It's like we've been dancing in the dark A great big expansion from a spark Over in a moment, finished in a flash Slipping through my fingers, life's an hourglass Shattered on the floor, oh It'll never be the way it was before No Feels like yesterday I was falling in love Then came the heartbreak Like it always does Nobody escapes it Time's a losing game Might as well embrace it 'Til it flies away I know that nobody can stay forever young (forever young) I wish I could just take a break from growing up (from growing up) It's like we've been dancing in the dark A great big expansion from a spark Over in a moment, finished in a flash Slipping through my fingers, life's an hourglass Shattered on the floor, oh It'll never be the way it was before The way it was before Over in a moment, finished in a flash Slipping through my fingers, moving way too fast Wish I had just a little more, oh It'll never be the way it was before

We came the long way And I thought you knew It was the long way My darling, I thought you knew We came the long way So, don't break my heart, yeah Don't cha We've been through the desert Where no water flows We've walked streets and highways Where kung-fu is afraid to go It was the long way So, don-cha Don't cha I'm not gon' tell you off, baby 'Cause I told you so much, you know So, don't cha (It's because I, I still need your warm and tender touch) (Just excuse me without you, darling) So, don't cha, eh We've been on the mountains And I thought you knew We've been through the valleys Where the green herbs grow (Oh darling) It was the long way
