Pet Shop Boys "The way it used to be" Songtext

The way it used to be

I'm hereYou're thereCome closerTonight I'm lonelyCome herewith meI want itthe way it used to be

What is left of love?tell meWho would even care?So much time has passedI'd still meet you anywhereWater under bridgeevening after dayWhat is left of love herethat didn't drift away?

I can remember days of sunwe knew our lives had just begunWe could do anythingWe're fearless when we're youngUnder the moon, address unknownI can remember nights in RomeI thought that love would lastA promise set in stone

I'd survive with only memoriesif I could change the way I feelBut I want more than only memoriesa human touch to make them real

Another day, another dreamover the bridge an empty sceneWe'd spend the weekend lost in bedand float upstreamI don't know why we moved awaylost in the here and now we strayedinto a New York zoneOur promise was betrayed

I was there caught on Tenth AvenueYou elsewhere with Culver City bluesThen and there I knew that I'd lost you

What is left of love?tell meWho would even care?So much time has passedI'd still meet you anywhereWater under bridgeevening after dayWhat is left of love herethat didn't drift away?

Don't give me all your northern painDon't sell me New York in the rainLet's leave our promises behindrewindand try again

What remains in timethat didn't fade away?Sometimes I need to seethe way it used to be
