The Way It Should Be Acoustic by The Mile After Lyrics
We pulled up, our coats on
'Cause once we get out, it'll be
The only way we have of staying warm
My thoughts were left at the back door
You slipped on them, hit the wood floor
And foolishly, I helped you up
And carried you to the stairs
But they broke from the weight of our conversation
We fell through the ground and into the basement
The laundry broke our fall
Strategically placed, because I planned on this the night before
So you wait a few days before you take it off
'Cause it all feels so strange
Without our pictures on your wall
Because I belong to you, and you belong to me
Oh, and that's the way it should be
We took off our coats 'cause we finally realized
That it's not the weather that was making us feel cold
My thoughts still left at the back door
And you still bothering me for
Not looking you straight in the eyes
But I'm not this time
So I looked right through you to the passing trees
And focused on just one, you asked "Why is everything
So different after dark?"
I told you this once, but you took it with a grain of salt
'Cause once we get out, it'll be
The only way we have of staying warm
My thoughts were left at the back door
You slipped on them, hit the wood floor
And foolishly, I helped you up
And carried you to the stairs
But they broke from the weight of our conversation
We fell through the ground and into the basement
The laundry broke our fall
Strategically placed, because I planned on this the night before
So you wait a few days before you take it off
'Cause it all feels so strange
Without our pictures on your wall
Because I belong to you, and you belong to me
Oh, and that's the way it should be
We took off our coats 'cause we finally realized
That it's not the weather that was making us feel cold
My thoughts still left at the back door
And you still bothering me for
Not looking you straight in the eyes
But I'm not this time
So I looked right through you to the passing trees
And focused on just one, you asked "Why is everything
So different after dark?"
I told you this once, but you took it with a grain of salt
