Your initial reply hit me undercover   When I lost my head to it   It was out of its time, it was undiscovered   As I caught my breath again   You were running out of lies to keep me under   Afraid of your back hands (?)   So to speak, you had me shaking at the knees      But I dont know the way out of this mess   No, I dont know the way out of this mess   And if you would've seen me at my best   Would it have changed anything at all?      Remember when -- we never had to remember when times were better   When times were better than this   We never had to remember when times were better   When times were better than this      The door was always open   But still not nearly enough to let me in   and my eyes are wide awake,    And i can see you clearly, but you dont stand out one bit.   I was always loud enough just for you to hear me    You never caught the wind   Now watch me break   Breakdown this time, this time again      But I dont know the way out of this mess   No, I dont know the way out of this mess   And if you would've seen me at my best   Would it have changed anything at all?      Remember when -- we never had to remember when times were better   When times were better than this   We never had to remember when times were better   When times were better than this   (When times were better, when times were better than this x2)      And I'm still waiting for a sign   Or just a win-win situation   Can I hear it one more time?   Without the sound of devastation setting in      Your initial reply hit me undercover   When I lost my head to it   It was out of its time, it was undiscovered   When you let me in   Oh, won't you let me in?      Remember when -- we never had to remember when times were better   When times were better than this   We never had to remember when times were better   When times were better than this      Do you remember, remember when?   Do you remember, remember when?   We never had to remember when times were better   When times were better than this   (When times were better, when times were better than this x2)
