Well, I roll into town With the ragtop down I was looking for that homecoming queen That three-by-nine lit hotel sign read Welcome back Class of '83 There were football guys twice their size Cheerleaders hiding the grey in their hair The names were the same but the faces had changed I didn't recognize anyone there. That used to be us, we used to be cool With the music cranked up, hanging out after school That used to be Jill, that used to be Joe Tell me where in the world did we all go? That used to be us. Oh, that used to be us. I had a drink with some buds Played a lot of catch up Danced with my date from the prom But as hard as I tried until I closed my eyes Everybody I knew was gone There was Mr. Finch, he taught English and French He was dancing with a couple of canes And that homecoming queen, Yeah the girl of my dreams She didn't even remember my name. That used to be us, we used to be cool With the music cranked up, hanging out after school That used to be Jill, that used to be Joe Tell me where in the world did we all go? That used to be us. As I stand here and look around I can't help but wonder Who will we be ten years from now? That used to be us, we used to be cool With the music cranked up, hanging out after school That used to be Jill, that used to be Joe Tell me where in the world did we all go? That used to be us. Oh, that used to be us. That used to be us. That used to be us...

I can feel her breath as she's sleeping next to me Sharing pillows and cold feet She can feel my heart, fell asleep to its beat Under blankets and warm sheets If only I could be in that bed again If only it were me instead of him Does he watch your favorite movies? Does he hold you when you cry? Does he let you tell him all your favorite parts when you've seen it a million times? Does he sing to all your music while you dance to Purple Rain? Does he do all these things like I used to? 14 months and seven days ago Oh, I know you know how we felt about that night Just your skin against the window Oh, we took it slow and we both know It should have been me inside that car It should have been me instead of him in the dark Does he watch your favorite movies? Does he hold you when you cry? Does he let you tell him all your favorite Parts when you've seen it a million times? Does he sings to all your music while you dance to Purple Rain? Does he do all these things like I used to? I know, Love (I'm a sucker for that feeling) Happens all the time, Love (I always end up feeling cheated) You're on my mind, Love (oh darling, lead her where that leaded) It happens all the time, Love, yeah Will he love you like I loved you? Will he tell you every day? Will he make you make you feel like You're invincible with every word he'll say? Can you promise me if this was right? Don't throw this all away Can you do all these things? Will you do all these things like we used to? Oh, like we used to

Out of my garden, passed the battle cruiser We jumped over cemetery gates There on the wasteland, we saw the horizon I noticed your pupils dilate They're at it again Let's roll just like we used to In fields when we were young Our hearts got lost in the circles We had it all, a rise and fall Came from the booze and the fags generation And prayed for the mayhem to start You said you were foolish but I saw the genius In pulling the stitches apart They're at it again Let's roll just like we used to In fields when we were young our hearts got lost in the circles We had it all, a rise and fall So raise your glass to the ones who have passed And the ones that got away, ohh They're at it again, let's roll just like we used to In fields when we were young our hearts got lost in the circles We had it all, a rise and fall I saw her face, way out in space
