Now and Then by Kevin Klein Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I met you there, outside your house
Oh, we both had so much too say
We were nervous and afraid
Breaking at the verge of tears
As we recall all the memories
And the fondest of our years
I'm driving down familiar routes
And all that time spent in parking lots
Just searching for a truce

[Chorus]
But there was then and this is now
And we both are better off
My lightning strike, those big brown eyes
And countless nights we fought
There's no use in trying to bring back what is lost, lost
Well, there's no use in trying to bring back what is...

[Verse 2]
Lost inside a fading glow
Glued together by our past
And a future that will never know
But these memories aren't a cornerstone
They're just a reoccurring burden
Which I must learn to let go
[Chorus]
'Cause there was then and this is now
And we both are better off
My lightning strike, those big brown eyes
And countless nights we fought
There's no use in trying to bring back what is lost, lost
'Cause there's no use in trying to bring back what is...

[Bridge]
How do we let go when it's all we've ever known?
And this space between our lives will grow
Here in the void, I'll say your name
As it sounded out, it's not the same

[Chorus]
'Cause there was then and this is now
And we both are better off
My lightning strike, those big brown eyes
Before that love we fought
We can drag it out until the dirt
But darling, I'd fought 'cause
There's no use in trying to bring back what is lost, lost
'Cause there's no use in trying to bring back what is lost
Yeah, there's no use in trying to bring back what is lost
