Now you find you amused with it all
We were standing so confused down the hall
Just looking back before they take it all away
I'm almost glad that we never wanted to stay

Because, these are places that are gone
Now we can go on and on
Back before you knew me well
I was trapped inside a shell

Clear away all the dust from your mind
Put it all on the shelf to leave behind
Because when I hold you near, we're immune to the past
And I am looking ahead
I just want to make it last

Because these are places that are gone
Now we can go on and on
Back before you knew me well
I was trapped inside a shell

This time tomorrow we'll be gone
And I just can't put my finger on
My destination not so clear
I just wanna get way out of here

But looking back before they take it all away
Well, then I'm almost glad that we never wanted to stay

Because, these are places that are gone
Now we can go on and on
Back before you knew me well
I was trapped inside a shell

And these are places that are gone
Now we can go on and on
Back before you knew me well
I was trapped inside a shell
