World I Used to Know

Set the scene and close the door-

Lights go down, and we don't make a sound.

And yeah we want so much more,

But nights like this are perfect for now.

Never gonna make it stop-

You can't make it stop.

Never gonna make it stop-

You can't make it stop.

This is the town I used to know-

This is the school we used to own.

This is the wind that used to blow-

This is the world I used to know.

Lying underneath the bed-

Your ceiling never felt so far away.

And tomorrow when we say goodbye,

We'll promise that we'll always stay the same.

But we're never gonna make it stop-

You can't make it stop.

Never gonna make it stop-

You can't make it stop.

...

This is the town I used to know-

This is the school we used to own.

This is the wind that used to blow-

This is the world I used to know-

This is the world I used to know.

This is the world I used to know.

We wished for lots of things-

When we were seventeen.

We're waiting for it now-

Waiting for it now, oh.

I've got a million dreams-

There is a life I see.

I'm waiting for it now-

Waiting for it now, oh.

We wished for lots of things-

When we were seventeen.

We're waiting for it now-

Waiting for it now, oh.

This is the school we used to own-

This is the school we used to own.

This is the school we used to-

This is the school we used to-

This is the school we used to own.

This is the world I used to know-

This is the world I used to know.

This is the world I used to know.

This is the world we all outgrew.
