What Once Was Lyrics

Back in the day when we were making good grades

We were wonderin' if we'd ever get laid

It's been fifteen years, how the times have changed

But ain't it funny how some things are the same

Come on

Ain't it funny how some things remain

Come on

Do you remember the time that I drove you home

In my '92 Accord in the crazy snow

The car spun out and I lost control

We thought that we would die, we didn't know

Come on

Well life kills us, time turns us to rust

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

I've been thinking back on what once was

The good and the bad and all of the love, come on

The good and the bad and all the above, come on

These days you're off doing big things

Saving the world in an aeroplane

Living way out west in Boise

The pictures that you sent were so pretty

Come on

When you get home we'll go out for a drink

Talk about the past and we'll swap stories

We'll get real drunk and share our dreams

Like we used to do when we were sixteen

Come on

Don't you remember when we were sixteen

Come on

Well life kills us, time turns us to rust

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

I've been thinking back on what once was

The good and the bad and all of the love, come on

The good and the bad and all the above, come on

Well life kills us, time turns us to rust

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust

I've been thinking back on what once was

The good and the bad and all of the love, come on

The good and the bad and all the above, come on
