Were Before

I met you on the sidewalk
 I hoped you were the way you were before
 Don't give into the small talk
 Don't give up on the things that we adore
 Oh yes, you know I like that
 I like it like the way we were before
 Still got some things to work at
 These days just walking around here's such a chore
 We both need it all the more
 Just the way we were before
 We both need it all the more
 Just the way we were before
 ♪
 I'm pleased to see that old walk
 Skipping all the cracks on the concrete
 These days you're walking real tall
 Or tall as someone like you've ever seen
 I've been around a few blocks
 I chased away the cobwebs in the street
 I wound up all the old clocks
 So we can say we never skipped a beat
 We both need it all the more
 Just the way we were before
 We both need it all the more
 Just the way we were before
 ♪
 'Cause we like that
 Just like the way we were before
 It's all mixed up
 But that's just what we had in store
 You can't fix that
 You can't fix that
 You can't fix that
 You can't fix that
