You say that you get nostalgic
Every time you think about us and
Wouldn't it be fantastic
To go back to the time when

You and I were midnight kissing
Livin' in the heat of the moment
It was simply convenient
You wanna know what I'm thinkin'

One: Time for me to go
Two: That would be a no
Three: I don't wanna so it's never gonna happen

Some things are better
Some things are better
Some things are better in the past

Some things are better
Some things are better
Some things are better in the past

No no no, I don't need to reminisce
On something stupid that I did
I ain't being stupid again

Some things are better
Some things are better
Some things are better in the past

All the empty compliments
And beggin', yeah
I see through it all, boy
So won't you stop with your pleadin'
And let me finish my reasons

Four: I'm not into you
Five: I got things to do
Six: I don't wanna so it's never gonna happen

Some things are better
Some things are better
Some things are better in the past

Some things are better
Some things are better
Some things are better in the past

No no no, I don't need to reminisce
On something stupid that I did
I ain't being stupid again

Some things are better
Some things are better
Some things are better in the past

I can see your intentions
You wear 'em on your sleeve
The way that you're acting and touching my knee
But I'm pulling back
And I'm gonna go
So I don't keep saying
No no no

Some things are better
Some things are better
Some things are better in the past

Some things are better
Some things are better
Some things are better in the past

Some things are better
Some things are better
Some things are better in the past

No no no, I don't need to reminisce
On something stupid that I did
I ain't being stupid again

Some things are better
Some things are better
Some things are better in the past
