The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm back at the same place we used to go
Nothing's changed nothing's different nothing's new
I'm with the same people we do the same things the only one missing is you
I'm searching for the love that I used to know
You brought me happiness not so long ago
In a big world that's moving a little bit too fast
I'm here looking in the future for the past
I'm hoping that someday I'll wake and find everything just the way it used to be
But who I might fooling almost everyone knows it's all over between you and me
I turn from your sweet lips I used to kiss in search of a cheap thrill that don't exist
But I'm not the first fool and I won't be the last
To end up looking in the future for the past looking in the future for the past
