Lyrics Rina Sawayama – How We Were Then

Back when you were here
Kept all these notes and photographs of times together
Oh, but now I see ’em in a different meaning
Did I take for granted all those times enchanted?

Back when you were here
We almost made a perfect life for you and I forever
Oh, but look what we did, you’re what I needed
Now I’m at the ?
and it’s ?

Just like the ring you gave to me
Our love a scene, but now on a screen
Moving outta line before my eyes

I keep on playing in my head, darling
How we were then, rolling
Like a silver screen, technicolour dream
I keep on wishing you were here, darling
How we were then, rolling
No, we could be so sweet
Now I still make believe

Back when you were here
You taught me how to swim against the tide without a minute
Oh, but now I’m drowning, ?
Lost without you by my side

Just like the ring you gave to me
Our love a scene, but now on a screen
Moving outta line before my eyes

I keep on playing in my head, darling
How we were then, rolling
Like a silver screen, technicolour dream
I keep on wishing you were here, darling

Let’s go make some history, just you and me
I got more than what you need, so don’t say goodbye
Technicolour make believe, won’t you be mine?

I keep on playing in my head, darling
How we were then, rolling
Like a silver screen, technicolour dream
I keep on wishing you were here, darling
How we were then, rolling
Now we could be so sweet
Now I still make believe
Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Tell me you love me
