Lyrics You then me now Maisie Peters

You then me now

I remember eighteen and telling a lie
Feeling like I was alive
Just to be looked at
By you in a ball cap
You'd walk in and light up a room
Hang up your coat on the moon
Till you were my whole sky

Used to see you as a ghost on my shoulder
Now you're see-through and I'm a little bit older

You were the God, I was the puzzle
You in the clouds, me in the tunnels
Couldn't see it for the trees, oh Lord
You were nothing worth crying for
My heart used to break, now it's all muscle
It's you in the dirt, me with the shovel
Baby, I know how it would go down
You then and me now

I thought it was special
You had a place of your own
And nobody had your cologne
All of your jokes were inside
All of my hopes in your eyes
But sometimes the wine that you drink
Is better off down your dress or the sink
Was only good 'cause you'd never had anything

I believed ya, but to be fair, I didn't know ya
Now I believe ya as far as I can throw ya

You were the God and I was the puzzle
You in the clouds, me in the tunnels
I couldn't see it for the trees, oh Lord
You were nothing worth crying for
Time turns a page, cards are reshuffled
It's you in the dirt and me with the shovel
Baby, I know how it would go down
You then and me now

You back then, mysterious
Me right now, lost interest
You're sorry, you mean it
It hangs there, I leave it
You back then, all fire
You these days, just some guy there
Clinging to a time everybody's moved on from
Clinging to a girl you could never keep a hold on

You were the God, I was the puzzle
You in the clouds, me in the tunnels
I couldn't see it for the trees, oh Lord
What was I crying for?
My heart used to break, now it won't buckle
It's you in the dirt and me with the shovel
Baby, I know now it would go down
You then and me now

Mm
Eye to eye and I won't back down
You then and me now
