Lyrics Used To Be - Matt Nathanson

Used To Be

Still got the same old number
Still drive the car you hate
Still fighting with my father
Still staying out too late
Still leave the back door open
Still let the dog escape
Maybe I’m deep down hoping
You’ll come back to yell at me like you used to do
You were right
I’m just a stubborn fool who’s living in the past
When we were young and we were free
And all your friends were friends with me
Swimming in our clothes when the beach was closed midnight on New Year’s Eve
And if you’re having trouble, baby, holding on to memories
I’ve got a king-sized bed and a Ph.D.
in the way it used to be
I’ve got a king-sized bed and a Ph.D.
in the way it used to be
And when you’re at your movie or autobiography
That carries the sweetest details
Feel free to call on me
Write how I made you shiver
The ground underneath us shook
The devil is in the details
He and I get on real good
Like we used to do
And you were right
I’m just a stubborn fool who’s living in the past
When we were young and we were free
And all your friends were friends with me
Swimming in our clothes when the beach was closed midnight on New Year’s Eve
And if you’re having trouble, baby, holding on to memories
I’ve got a king-sized bed and a Ph.D.
in the way it used to be
Got a king-sized bed and a Ph.D.
in the way it used to be
You know it’s ancient history
And if you’re having trouble, baby, holding on to memories
I’ve got a king-sized bed and a Ph.D.
in the way it used to be
When we were young and we were free
And all your friends were friends with me
Swimming in our clothes when the beach was closed midnight on New Year’s Eve
And if you’re having trouble, baby, holding on to memories
I’ve got a king-sized bed and a Ph.D.
in the way it used to be
'Cause we were young and we were free
And all your friends were friends with me
Swimming in our clothes when the beach was closed midnight on New Year’s Eve
And if you’re having trouble, baby, holding on to memories
I’ve got a king-sized bed and a Ph.D.
in the way it used to be
Got a king-sized bed and a Ph.D.
in the way it used to be
