Because

we used to try not to compete
we used to own a him or her
we used to feel so incomplete
we used to end up where we were

we'd always end up where we were
we'd always end up where we were
we'd always end up where we were
we'd always end up where we were

we used to build so many halls
we used to make it like it seemed
we used to decorate the halls
we used to live inside a dream

we used to live inside a dream
we used to live inside a dream
we used to live inside a dream
we used to live inside a dream

we used to never sit upstream
we used to never breathe in deep
we used to keep wipin' the sleeve
we used to tense up in our sleep

we'd always tense up in our sleep
we'd always tense up in our sleep

we used to be so on our way
we used to want to do it all
we used to have somethign to say
we used to build it up to fall

we'd always build it up to fall
we'd always build it up to fall

we used to need to work it out
we used to put those two cents in
we used to push and prod and doubt
we used to end up where we'd been

we'd always end up where we'd been
we'd always end up where we'd been


and i know you're tired
and i know you're spent
got to stay inspired
got to pay the rent

but there's two of you
just like there's two of me
the onw you never knew
the one you'll always be

we used to say what was
we used to say because
we used to say what was
we used to say because
