Do you remember when the stars lined up?
Mountain ranges were smaller than us.
I still picture how your eyes lift up,
it was real.
The cityscape was bright, bright warm,
we thought we would always stay young.
I bought you flowers when you said I can't rhyme,
they were orange.
But it was so long ago, it was such a long time ago.
It was so long ago, it was such a long time ago.
When you beat me in the race, I wasn't prepared.
Such a twisted path to retrace, it's hard to tell where.
So stop running everywhere that you do -
And let me hang on to you.
A sunny day at the table arcade,
Ms. Pac-Man and her ghost brigade,
said boy, you're gonna get played
and I did.
I don't recall just how the ice age came,
were we aware of the frozen rain?
Or did I say that I still feel the same?
It was real.
But it was so long ago, it was such a long time ago.
It was so long ago, it was such a long time ago.
When you hit me in the face, I wasn't prepared.
Such a violent thing to erase, it's hard to repair.
So stop doing all those things that you do -
that make me hang on to you.
Soon we'll be floating through the universe,
both of our hearts so well-rehearsed.
Was it real?
It was so long ago, it was such a long time ago.
It was so long ago, it was such a long time ago.
It was so (fucking) long ago, it was such a long time ago.
It was so long ago, it was such a long time ago.
