Lyrics
Intro
[Soft piano
Single vocal]
Remember the time
When we walked together
You and me against the world
Standing back to back
Verse 1
Every little street we claimed
Every secret that we swore
We were laughing at the future
Like we’d kicked down every door
We were the same
Not looking for a name
Just living in the moment
You and me
Living free
Pre-Chorus
What happened to those days
How did they slip away so fast
Looking back
It feels so far
Like a photograph behind the glass
Chorus
I remember the time
We were back to back
Unbroken
You and me on the line
Every promise still unspoken
It doesn’t get any better
Than how it felt to be your past
But the past can never last
Yeah
The past can never last
(and I miss you)
Verse 2
Now it’s coffee on the counter
Half a smile
Then your phone
We share stories like strangers
In a house that’s not a home
All these plans
Scattered in our hands
Can we find that old beginning
Before we let it go again
Pre-Chorus
What happened to those nights
When every shadow felt like gold
Looking back
It cuts me up
How did we ever get this cold
Chorus
I remember the time
We were back to back
Unbroken
You and me on the line
Every promise still unspoken
It doesn’t get any better
Than how it felt to be your past
But the past can never last
Yeah
The past can never last
(and I miss you, I miss us)
Bridge
[Music drops
Organ and drums swell]
If we turn around together (hey)
Face the fear that dragged us down
Could we steal another sunrise
From this tired little town
I don’t want a perfect story
I just want you next to me
Like we were
Like we were
When we were living wild and free
Lead Guitar Solo
Soaring guitar over half-time drums and organ pad
Chorus
I remember the time
We were back to back
Unbroken
You and me on the line
Every promise still unspoken
It doesn’t get any better
Than learning how to make it last
Let the past be just the past
If you’ll turn to me at last
(yeah I’m here, I’m here)
It doesn’t get any better
Than you and me against the world
Standing back to back
Standing back to back
(you and me, you and me)
