Used to Be - Arrows to Athens

Take a breath;

Take a long look around

Before you step

'Cause the tide is coming

Swallowing the ground

And there's no way to tell

If we will drown tonight

Or we'll be found tonight

Come in close;

If the current gets us

Then it gets us both

And we can't wait here anymore

So if the waves come

Let 'em take us

As they cover you and me

And they pull us underneath

I hope that fate will forgive

Us for tempting the sea

I hope that they

Won't forget us

But we cannot go back

To the way it used to be

Take it in;

Take a good look at

What it might have been

As we're swept into

The water from the shore

Because there's no way

They can tell us

That we can't have more

Because we can have more

As the waves come

Let 'em take us

As they cover you and me

And they pull us underneath

I hope that fate will forgive

Us for tempting the sea

I hope that they

Won't forget us

No we cannot go back

To the way it used to be

So certain

Where it would take us

So sure that we were never lost;

To notice whether we'll be

Drowned tonight or found tonight

So as the waves come

Let 'em take us

As they cover you and me

And they pull us underneath

It takes the shape of

Who will save us

When it leaves

It's hard to know

But I will not let you go

I hope that fate will

Forgive us for tempting the sea

I hope that they won't forget us

No we cannot go back to

The way it used to be

I hope that they won't forget us

No we cannot go back

To the way it used to be
