that was then by Emily James Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I hear your voice and my heart's kickstarted
Through the crowd somewhere 'round the edge of the apartment
It's been a few months and as much as I want
To say that I don't want you
You're looking back now and I start to falter
[Chorus]
'Cause I keep running through the past trying to figure it out
But that was then, and this is now
You kissed me in the kitchen light when no one was around
That was then, where are we now?
Do you think of me at all?
Do you remember how it felt to hold
On to each other like we couldn't live without?
What was then, wеll this is now
[Verse 2]
So I act unattached, but you got me unguarded
Just doing what I can to keep it so lighthеarted
But I can't help the fact that my mind keeps track
Of everywhere your hands have been to
Think it's too late now to ever restart it
[Chorus]
'Cause I keep running through the past trying to figure it out
But that was then, and this is now
You kissed me in the kitchen light when no one was around
That was then, where are we now?
Do you think of me at all?
Do you remember how it felt to hold
On to each other like we couldn't live without
What was then, well this is now
[Outro]
So if you feel nothing can you just say so?
'Cause we were never black and white, you painted a rainbow
Didn't draw lines so the colors combined
What shade have we bled into?
We were a summer kissed red but oh that was then
And this is now
Now, now, now
I hear your voice and my heart's kickstarted
Through the crowd somewhere 'round the edge of the apartment
It's been a few months and as much as I want
To say that I don't want you
You're looking back now and I start to falter
[Chorus]
'Cause I keep running through the past trying to figure it out
But that was then, and this is now
You kissed me in the kitchen light when no one was around
That was then, where are we now?
Do you think of me at all?
Do you remember how it felt to hold
On to each other like we couldn't live without?
What was then, wеll this is now
[Verse 2]
So I act unattached, but you got me unguarded
Just doing what I can to keep it so lighthеarted
But I can't help the fact that my mind keeps track
Of everywhere your hands have been to
Think it's too late now to ever restart it
[Chorus]
'Cause I keep running through the past trying to figure it out
But that was then, and this is now
You kissed me in the kitchen light when no one was around
That was then, where are we now?
Do you think of me at all?
Do you remember how it felt to hold
On to each other like we couldn't live without
What was then, well this is now
[Outro]
So if you feel nothing can you just say so?
'Cause we were never black and white, you painted a rainbow
Didn't draw lines so the colors combined
What shade have we bled into?
We were a summer kissed red but oh that was then
And this is now
Now, now, now
