​back then Lyrics by ​lil ink

​inkytunes III

2020

[Verse 1]

It's barely been a week, but it hits like a year
And like an acid trip that got fucked up, you've really left your mark 'round here
You've really left your mark inside, along the walls that line my mind
And if you hadn't wished, well your luck's up, because those walls have disappeared

[Chorus]

Back then, back then, things would never happen
In town, in town, you would always sport a frown
'Cause you were nothing, when you felt the heat
You were nothing, but everything to me

[Verse 2]

Back to the start, East Croydon station, 21st century heartbreak car chase
Running from the law
Trapped in the art of broken patience, when he first bent she marked a fast pace
Caution prompting sure
Flash-back forward to today, I've been saved by your grace
Pace and time were key to get you next to me
When you're not in my sheets, you trail my every dream
Flash-back forward to today, I've been saved (I've been saved)

[Chorus]

Back then, back then, things would never happen
In town, in town, you would always sport a frown
'Cause you were nothing, when you felt the heat
You were nothing, but everything to me

[Bridge]

Back then, back then
Back then, back then
Back then, back then, woah
Back then, back then, back
Back then, back then
Back then
Back then, back then
