Like It Used to Be Lyrics by The Hang Ups

The Hang Ups

2003

[Verse 1]
It's like it used to be
The way that the scenery
A long, long time ago
There wasn't any snow
A long, long time ago
There wasn't any snow
[Verse 2]
We were angels then, we wanted to be free
They took our magic wings and set us out to sea
We sailed to Panama, we sailed to Delphi
We sailed to Singapore but still weren't happy
If there's a plan we shouldn't understand
We weren't mean to wander free
We're meant to worry with worthless wings
Like chickens in a tree
[Verse 3]
He gave you wings
You can't see
She gave you wings
You can't see
