You Then Me Now

I remember 18 and telling a lie

Feeling like I was alive

Just to be looked at by you in a ball cap

You′d walk in and light up a room

Hang up your coat on the moon

'Til you were my whole sky

Used to see you as a ghost on my shoulder

Now you′re see-through and I'm a little bit older

You were the god, I was the puzzle

You in the clouds, me in the tunnels

Couldn't see it for the trees, oh Lord

You were nothing worth crying for

My heart used to break, now it′s all muscle

It′s you in the dirt, me with the shovel

Baby, I know how it would go down

You then and me now

I thought it was special

You had a place of your own

And nobody had your cologne

All of your jokes were inside

All of my hopes in your eyes

But sometimes the wine that you drink

Is better off down your dress or the sink

Was only good 'cause you′d never had anything

I believed ya, but to be fair, I didn't know ya

Now I believe ya as far as I can throw ya

You were the god and I was the puzzle

You in the clouds, me in the tunnels

I couldn′t see it for the trees, oh Lord

You were nothing worth crying for

Time turns a page, cards are reshuffled

It's you in the dirt and me with the shovel

Baby, I know how it would go down

You then and me now

You back then, mysterious

Me right now, lost interest

You′re sorry, you mean it

It hangs there, I leave it

You back then, all fire

You these days, just some guy there

Clinging to a time everybody's moved on from

Clinging to a girl you could never keep a hold on

You were the god, I was the puzzle

You in the clouds, me in the tunnels

I couldn't see it for the trees, oh Lord

What was I crying for?

My heart used to break, now it won′t buckle

It′s you in the dirt and me with the shovel

Baby, I know how it would go down

You then and me now

Mm

Eye to eye and I won't back down

You then and me now
