It used to be, but not anymore   Time slipped through my fingers to the floor   It used to be, but not anymore   Tipped my hat and walked through the door      It used to be the greatest thing to catch fireflies in the evening   And to watch cartoons in my underwear   It used to be my greatest fear   Was what the girl sitting in front of me would say about my hair      But now it's so hard, I'm so far from where I have been   I cannot win anymore   Now I sometimes cry, wonder why, oh I can't stand it   Why can't it be like before?      It used to be the greatest thing to get in Your presence   Get lost in You and revel in Your majesty   It used to be I'd spend an evening alone with You   Get lost in You and hear You speak to me      Why can't it be like before?
