The Way It Was

I drove through the desert last night
I carried the weight of our last fight
Elvis singing Don’t Be Cruel and I wonder
If you feel it too it's like we're going under

Somewhere outside the lonely Esmeralda County line
The question of my heart came to my mind

If I go on with you (by my side)
Can it be the way it was when we met?
Did you forget all about those golden nights?

Maybe a thief stole your heart
Or maybe we just drifted apart, I remember driving
In my daddy's car to the airfield
Blanket on the hood, backs against the windshield

Back then, this thing was running on momentum, love and trust
That paradise is buried in the dust

If I go on with you (by my side)
Can it be the way it was when we met?
Did you forget all about those golden nights?

(The way it was, it was)

All of our plans have fallen through
Sometimes a dream it don't come true

Darling, darling (if we go on, can it be?)
Can it be the way it was when we met?
Did you forget all about them golden nights?

If I go on with you (by my side)
Can it be the way it was? My heart is true
Girl, it's just you I'm thinking of
Can it be the way it was?

(Maybe a thief stole your heart)
