Lisa Gatewood: Lyrics

The People We Used to Be

(Lisa Gatewood)
Walk me home again tonight
We’ll talk lowly and we’ll talk lovely
and act like strangers who never fight
we won’t let it go so quickly

I’ll hang on your lips a harmless moment
I’m hanging around again this week
but you don’t come to my house anymore
cause it hurts you like it hurts me when I speak

Walk me home again tonight
and I’ll let you off the hook
no one could ever say you abandoned me
not if we show them how happy I can look

I’ll run to you for just a moment
I’m running away again this year
and even if I don’t end up in Fiji
any place is safer than here

The stars are falling down around us
my apartment is covered in feathers of you
can’t you come inside for just a moment
it ain’t pretty but it’s got a lovely view
of the people we used to be
of the people we used to be
of the people we used to be
