VERSE 1
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'

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

CHORUS
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

VERSE 2
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

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

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE
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

(CHORUS)
