Oh my love I lost you again We were jumping in The river but I never learned to swim In my life I wanted to give you something more Something more A yellow bird is knocking at my feet She talks a different language that I never could speak Every day I try hard to be something more Something more And you come back again Like a movie I've seen before Oh way back when We were something more It might be a long long time You wrote me a letter in riddle and rhyme Secretly so I wouldn't find you anymore Anymore And I can see it clearly now You shot for the stars but you fell to the ground That's why you left this northern town for something more Something more And you come back again Like a movie I've seen before Oh way back when We were something more Then one day I saw your face On the cover of a magazine you had a different name But those eyes still look the same as before When we were something more And you come back again Like a movie I've seen before And you come back again Running out of closing doors Oh way back when We were something more
