Waking up in the night
I reach for your hand
You’re nowhere in sight
I feel less of a man
I want you home
I wish you’d come back
We could watch your favorite shows
With my head in your lap
I would laugh at all your jokes
So I’d never see you sad
I miss your warm embrace
And your cigarettes breathe
I guess life knocked us down
Love can pick us up
In the lost and found is where I found us
Got caught in the pourin’ rain
And up against the world
Just tryin’ find my way
Back to the way we were
We were
The way we were
When we first met
I thought you hung the moon
The only one
To remove my costume
I was standing there
Only wearing you
I wish you’d come back
To the things you knew
Wouldn’t drink as much
If that’s all it took
I would gladly give it up
To rewrite our book
I guess life knocked us down
Love can pick us up
In the lost and found is where I found us
Got caught in the pourin’ rain
And up against the world
Just tryin’ find my way
Back to the way we were
We were
The way we were
Your guy is lovely, I just wanted you to know
He’s everything less complicated
He makes more sense
Than I ever did
I was one minute off
He’s always on time
With the three words that I left behind
I guess life knocked us down
Love can pick us up
In the lost and found is where I found us
Got caught in the pourin’ rain
And up against the world
Just tryin’ find my way
Back to the way we were
We were
The way we were
