The Way We Were

Memories, like the corners of my mind Misty water colored memories, of the way we were Scattered pictures, of the smile we left behind Smile we gave to one another, of the way we were Oh, can you believe it was all so simple then Or has time rewritten every line Then if we have a chance to do it all again Can we, could we Scattered pictures, of the smile we left behind Smile we gave to one another, of the way we were Looking back flipping through the pages, remembering the stages Of my status, emotional, I search for ways to unlock the matrix, This mystery is driving me through multiple stages of analyzing, I lost in mind state this spot too hot, need ventilation, Facin' ill situations, I let imagination flow With extraterrestrial rhyme styles Causin' detrimental effects, before you can reflex I'm mentally in laundromat state, never flat rate, My mind infiltrated with lust deceit and mad papes, My soul is restless, when MC's try to test this Then I have to kick this, hectic, kind of dialectic The illustrator verbalizing mental data Words fly, causin' craters, I'm reaching for the respirator Restlessly, but with nice entry, And memories remain endlessly, Oh, can you believe it was all so simple then Or has time rewritten every line Then if we have a chance to do it all again Can we, could we Memories, may we beautiful again, what's too painful to remember, we simply choose to forget, so it's the laughter We'll remember, whenever, we'll remember, the way we were
