It's been a while since the two of us talked About a week since the day that you walked Knowing things would never be the same With your empty heart and mine full of pain So explain to me, how it came to this Let's take it back to the night we kissed It was Dublin city on a Friday night With vodkas and coke, I was Guinness all night We were sitting with our backs against the world Saying things that we thought but never heard Who would have thought it would end up like this? But everything we talked about is gone And the only chance we have of moving on Was trying to take it back before it all went wrong Before the worst Before we met Before our hearts decided it's time to love again Before today Before too long Let's try and take it back before it all went wrong There was a time that we'd stay up all night Best friends, yeah, talking til the daylight Took the joys alongside the pain With not much to lose but so much to gain Are you hearing me? 'Cause I don't wanna miss That you would drift on memory bliss It was Grafton street, on a rainy night I was down on one knee and you were mine for life We were thinking we would never be apart With your name tattooed across my heart Who would have thought it would end up like this? But everything we talked about is gone And the only chance we have of moving on Was trying to take it back before it all went wrong Before the worst Before we met Before our hearts decided it's time to love again Before today Before too long Let's try and take it back before it all went wrong If these clouds don't clear Then we'll rise above it, we'll rise above it Heaven's gate is so near, come walk me through Just like we used to, just like we used to, yeah Let's take it back before it all went wrong Before the worst Before we met Before our hearts decided it's time to love again Before today Before too long
