It used to be, but not anymore Time slipped through my fingers to the floor It used to be, but not anymore Tipped my hat and walked through the door It used to be the greatest thing to catch fireflies in the evening And to watch cartoons in my underwear It used to be my greatest fear Was what the girl sitting in front of me would say about my hair But now it's so hard, I'm so far from where I have been I cannot win anymore Now I sometimes cry, wonder why, oh I can't stand it Why can't it be like before? It used to be the greatest thing to get in Your presence Get lost in You and revel in Your majesty It used to be I'd spend an evening alone with You Get lost in You and hear You speak to me Why can't it be like before?
