Back When Lyrics by Jordan Kanine

2012

[Verse 1: Jordan Kanine]
Back when the sun was still shining on us
Back to square one, with disapproval riding on us
Meet me halfway, center stage is the rendezvous
We're back to being strangers, so maybe we could start anew
Would you believe me if I said you were on my mind all day?
I said forever and I meant it to be always
Would you believe me if I suddenly pulled out a ring?
No more playing, girl, I'm talking 'bout the real thing
Back years ago, she called me a loser
Now she regrets letting the cool kids use her
She said nobody ever loves these days
I said false, babygirl, wait, look at me, babe
Look in my eyes and honestly say I'm lying
I'm trying, I'm trying. Even the man behind me is fighting
In all sincerity, we made it through every endeavor
But if you don't have faith in me, it's whatever
[Chorus]
Love works in strange ways
When you can't explain it, we call it magic. We call it magic
Maybe we can take a trip back to the way things were
But if not, we can just keep saying, just keep saying
Back when [x4]
[Verse 2: Jordan Kanine]
I said send me a picture of you at this very moment
She said I ain't wearing makeup. I said I know it, I know it
The fact that you don't see what I see is yet another riddle
When you deny your beauty, my heart cracks just a little
While I'm planning ahead for the day that we reunite
I find myself daydreaming in the middle of the night
I swear this girl got my stomach turning, getting dizzy
I'm running off the inspiration you give me
Love is a flower; spread it and let it grow
Advice for the fellas: If she's beautiful, let her know
'Cause if you don't make her feel special, somebody will
While you think it won't happen, somebody's hoping it will
Maybe we can take it to the bedroom
Not to do anything bad, but let's go
So I can cuddle with you all night
Baby, we can make it right again
Amongst all the chatter
She calls me Alexander to remind me that I matter
My heart's speaking Latin, I forgot about my roots
I'm starting to hate the English language, 'cause no words say how I feel about you
And I know we'll have that happily after ever story (baby)
[Chorus]
