Julia Velez - The Way We Were Lyrics

I've been listening to songs
For the beat
Not analyzing what they could mean to me
You speak highly of me to my face
And frankly
I wouldn't care if behind my back that weren't the case
Cause this thing right here
It's as good as childhood
It feels just as gold
And just as sweet
And just as missable
It's like we're taking pictures
On your mom's old camera
But I know I won't need flash and paper to remember you
How we were
How we were
How we were
And when we get older
I pray that we'll meet
And survive the college rage
And the dog days of infamy
You say "this saved me from a rut"
But you know some days it feels like I made this whole year up
We share the same bad luck
You're stuck at home
Well it's a good
I've been needing a walk
Ooh
We don't need to talk
You're scared of getting old and hitting the rocks
Ooh
The way we were
The way we were
The way we were
The way we were
The way we were
The way we were
The way we were
The way we were
Run our pockets dry
Like every week
I'll show you songs
You'll show me relief
We're too old to be prodigies
But too young for anything self defining
So let's f*ck our peace
Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh
The way we were
The way we were
The way we were
The way we were
The way we are
The way we are
You're all gold
It'll feel gold
When the way we are
Is the way we were
