lyrics

Didn't get out of bed until noon today
I'm out of old Nintendo games to play
There are no cars out in the street
I haven't left my house for weeks
Can it go back to the way things used to be

Another pot of soup out on the stove
I'd watch TV but I've lost the damn remote
I can't go to the movies, better spin a DVD
Can it go back to the way things used to be

I miss going out to concerts with my friends
Having too much fun and swear that I will never drink again
Getting breakfast with my parents at the end of every week
Have a fire in the backyard enjoying others company
Making history with the band, ride in the van on zero sleep
The way things used to be

Remember that there's more to this than you
There's people out there with nothing they can do
I remind myself I'm lucky to have a place to sleep at night
There are people who've got nothing, those who barely just survive
You should be grateful you're not hungry, that you're safe at home and healthy
Do you really miss the way things used to be
Should we go back to the way things used to be
Cause honestly

We could all be a little bit better than we used to be
We should all be a little bit better than we used to be
We could all be a little bit better than we used to be
The way things used to be
