Back When Lyrics by Olivia Nelson

For You - EP

2018

[Verse 1]
Wine stains on the carpet
Dirty laundry on the floor
No food in the oven
I don't wanna cook no more
I know you hate it when I come home late
But it's what I gotta do
'Cause I'm working on the big things, babe
And I'm doing it for you

[Chorus]
These days are my ways
I'm turning our dreams into stone
These days are my ways
I'm making a life to call home
Someday in the future
When the world is in our hands
We'll be sitting, reminiscing
Talking 'bout how things were
Different back then, back when

[Verse 2]
Always worried 'bout something
You were working hours that was mad
Though we still had nothing
You were hard up, I had no cash
Now I'm ready for a real big change
Bigger than before
Just 'cause I'm busier these days
Doesn't mean I love you no more

[Chorus]
These days are my ways
I'm turning our dreams into stone
These days are my ways
I'm making a life to call home
Someday in the future
When the world is in our hands
We'll be sitting, reminiscing
Talking 'bout how things were
Different back then, back when

Let's not waste the time
[?] you're mine
Let's not waste the time
[?] you're mine
Let's not waste the time
[?] you're mine
Let's not waste the time
[?] you're mine

[Chorus 2]
These days are our ways
I'm turning our dreams into stone
These days are our ways
I'm making a life to call home
These days are our ways
I'm turning our dreams into stone
These days are our ways
I'm making a life to call home
We'll be sitting, reminiscing
Talking 'bout how things were
Different back then, back then
We'll be sitting, reminiscing
Talking 'bout how things were
Different back then, back then
We'll be sitting, reminiscing
Talking 'bout how things were
Different back then, back then
