Way Back When Lyrics by Aimee Mann

Way Back When Lyrics

    Well, i guess that this is now the end
    Who'd have thought
    My old friend
    We signed the papers and we capped the pen
    But i remember you from way back when
    'good evening, ladies and gentlemen
    Welcome david-what's-his-name-again'
    Things change -
    The old cliche
    If we knew now what we knew yesterday
    Oh, we couldn't give it away.


    I was working at a record store
    I knew you,
    You knew the score
    Some kind of deal is what we're looking for
    Time came, and disappeared
    No one steered and
    It got weirder
    Help was needed, no one volunteered.


    Things change,
    You got to wait a bit
    What made me think that i could weather it?
    You're down before you even notice
    You've been hit

    And through it all i wondered where the bus
    Was taking you
    Who knew?
    And even though my one and one was always
    Making two
    I never thought that i was breaking you.


    We were victims of the old taboo
    But people change
    We changed too
    Just make it count before they get to you.


    Things change -
    Baby, hold the phone! -
    They'll shoot you down like you was al capone
    Oh, you better go it alone.

    Well, i guess that this is now the end
    The paper's signed -
    Forget the pen
    Wonder if we'll ever meet again?
