When It Was Now Deluxe Version

Atlas Genius When It Was Now Deluxe Version Lyrics
1.Electric

From the corner of your eye
Down to the trap you set tonight
To give you nothing's what you need
They give you so much you can't breathe

I know the past is a lonely place
And given time you could find what you couldn't replace
Don't pretend like you're up in a tree
The future's not where it used to be

It's so electric if we're pretending to
Act like we don't know what to do
To understand it, of where it's headed to
Like we don't know what to do

We could fall
Or we could just face it
And the times will go
We could fall

As I defend and you deny
I can't tell what you like
It's just the thoughts or so it seemed
Let's go outside so we can breathe

I know the past is a lonely place
And now you wake in a bed where there's no other face
Don't pretend like you're up in a tree
The future's not where it used to be

It's so electric if we're pretending to
Act like we don't know what to do
To understand it, of where it's headed to
Like we don't know what to do

We could fall
Or we could just face it
And the times will go
We could fall


2.If So

Verse 1:
Everybody's taking what they can but they can't decide
They do what they want to cause any kind of feeling is alright
And don't be talking maybe your mama's flying high as a kite
You're just like the next one cause we'll be walking lonely
tonight
Lonely Tonight

Chorus:
If so, if so
We know, we'll be coming
If so, if so
We know, we'll be coming
If so, if so
We know, we'll be coming

Verse 2:
Everybody's faking like they can, it makes it alright
Tell me what you want to, cause I don't know the wrong from the
right
Just don't be talking maybe your mama's flying high as a kite
You're just like the next one cause we'll be walking lonely
tonight
Lonely Tonight

Chorus:
If so, if so
We know, we'll be coming
If so, if so
We know, we'll be coming
If so, if so
We know, we'll be coming

Chorus:
If so, if so
We know, we'll be coming
If so, if so
We know, we'll be coming
If so, if o
We know, we'll be coming


3.Back Seat

Cold back street
Flicker of a light that I couldn't meet
Olfactory senses breaking down, slowly figures it'd be
Old back seat
Drunken couple take it too far thinking no one could see
Having sex on the street

Oh, whoa
I'll say you a meaning, ah ah ah
Oh, whoa
I'll say you a feeling, ah ah ah
Oh, whoa
I'll say you a meaning, ah ah ah
Oh, whoa

Use that door
Words like knives that no longer cut
The world in flames, so small anymore we could fall through the
grate
We got time
Gonna waste it all, gonna be fine
We're complicated, but we're as simple as we wanted to be

Oh, whoa
I'll say you a meaning, ah ah ah
Oh, whoa
I'll say you a feeling, ah ah ah
Oh, whoa
I'll say you a meaning, ah ah ah
Oh, whoa


4.Trojans

Take it off
Take it in
Take off all the thoughts of what we've been
Take a look
Hesitate
Take a picture you could never recreate
Write a song
make a note
for the lump that sits inside your throat
Change the locks, change the scene
Change it all but can't change what we've been
Your trojan's in my head
It's ok if it's gone
The thoughts that you had that it was the one
And oh what is left?
For all those times is that what you get?
Oh regardless
The walls get painted anyway
Oh you're guarding
The gates, but it all got away
Your trojan's in my head
Take it off
Take it in
Take off all the thoughts of what we've been
Take a look
Hesitate
Take a picture you could never recreate
Write a song
make a note
for the lump that sits inside your throat
Change the locks, change the scene
Change it all but can't change what we've been


5.Through The Glass

I thought you'd see me through the glass,
But you only caught your reflection.
I hoped you'd hear me through the noise,
Of the street poles and fire

But no, no, no,
You didn't notice.

I tried to care for a while,
But I don't feel the connection.
I'd settle for a broken heart,
Just a scar caused by infection

But no, no, no,
I didn't notice,
What you wanted
All gets lost in the fire
That warms who we are, get lost

And we're dressed up like humans,
Like we know who we are.
This map won't get you home,
If you don't know where you are.
This plastic house won't break with stones.
This road won't get you home,
From where you are.

You look like someone from afar,
When I knew the direction.
I'd settle for a broken heart,
Just a scar caused by infection.

But no, no, no,
We didn't notice.
What you wanted,
All gets lost in the fire,
That warms who we are, get lost

And we're dressed up like humans,
Like we know who we are.
This map won't get you home,
If you don't know where you are.
This plastic house won't break with stones.
This road won't get you home,
From where you are.


6.On A Day

I turn around, but not to change direction
Another step and we'll be on our way to
the center of, the center of attention
cheap hearts are always on their way out

We shut, we shut, we shut it down
We knocked it off, we knocked it 'round
Let's get this heads up of the ground

Someday worse we're driving
It's a shame to lay in on a day like this
Let's go out and face it
looking like disgraces on a day like this

No, it never is quite enough
So, you never did fall in love
Oh, I think a little too much

We turn around, but we don't change direction
Another step and we'll be on our way

We shut, we shut, we shut it down
We knocked it off, we knocked it 'round
Let's get this heads up of the ground

Someday worse we're driving
It's a shame to lay in on a day like this
Let's go out and face it
looking like disgraces on a day like this


7.Centred On You

A heart drops it's emotion
Towards, 'it's not how it's supposed to be'
And it all moves into one

Slow burn the devotion
We took turns, the stars fell over
And it all moves into one

The outcome is pseudo bliss
Turn hours sung, I went in tears
And it all rolled into one

Mind lit up
The second for
Centred on you
My concience all lit up
This second for
Centred on you

(She went, 'all we are'
She went, 'all we are'
She went, 'all we are'
She went, 'all we are')

A heart drops it's emotion (She went, 'all we are')
Towards, it's not how it's supposed to be (She went, 'all we
are')
And it all moves into one

Mind lit up
The second for
Centred on you
My concience all lit up
This second for
Centred on you

Mind lits up for
The second for
Centred on you
My concience all lit up
This second for
Centred on you
These moments uh
The second for
Centred on you


8.Don't Make A Scene

Well we're not wrong yet
When we're safe in youth
And it's on and on
Our mistakes are true

Should we take the call
When the sun gets low
It's a long day coming
If we see it all

I don't mean it was
Good enough to pretend
But it worked for a time
That's close to the end

I'll be on my own 'cause I don't feel like myself
and if she's falling down don't make a scene don't make a sound

If we're not wrong yet
Am I safe in you?
Can it all go on
If mistakes are true

I don't mean it was
Good enough to pretend
But it worked for a time
That's close to the end

I'll be on my own 'cause I don't feel like myself
and if she's falling down don't make a scene don't make a sound

And I'll be on my own 'cause I don't feel like myself
and if she's falling down don't make a scene don't make a sound


9.All These Girls

We're related through a drunken speak
I was faded couldn't find my feet
As the lights came on there was nowhere else to go

You were to good for solay
We were on the way so was the day
As the cab pull up there was nowhere else to go

World's apart (I fell right into you)
We didn't know and the sun was on its way
I didn't know (So I said that you can stay)
All these girls are not the same
All these girls are not the same as you

So quick but we took it slow
Had to face it that we didn't know
You sing the words and I'll pay you what I got

Your a wonder
I'm no patiences
Your just waiting
While will there then it go

World's apart (I fell right into you)
We didn't know and the sun was on its way
I didn't know (So I said that you can stay)
All these girls are not the same
All these girls are not the same as you

On the town go
On the phone slow
I wanna stop with you
I wanna say I'm sorry

All these girls are not the same as you
(Are not the same as you)
All these girls are not the same as you
(Are not the same as you)
All these girls are not the same
(Are not the same)

World's apart (I fell right into you)
We didn't know and the sun was on its way
I didn't know (So I said that you can stay)
All these girls are not the same
All these girls are not the same as you
All these girls are not the same
All these girls are not the same as you


10.When It Was Now

We don't speak the same words
I'm lost, lost in the pages of a cold read of disburst
It's something we don't know the meaning of
They go, go do what they want
I know oh she's not in love
Start low, lower feel it come
Oh yeah we know what they want

And it is what it was
Until you let it go
And it was what it is
Yeah you gotta let it go

Almost to much to be enough
I'm make it out somehow
I know your watching
Ah don't you miss it
When it was now

Drumbeat in your heart
You can't speak can't even stop to explain
Oh yeah we play the wrong game
They go, go do what they want
I know oh she's not in love
Start low, lower feel it come
Oh yeah we know what we want

And it is what it was
Until you let it go
And it was what it is
Yeah you gotta let it go

Almost to much to be enough
I'm make it out somehow
I know your watching
Ah don't you miss it
When it was now

Don't have heart
Don't let em
Don't be fooled by what we say it
Sick like they know but they don't

Snow can't hurt
Don't let em
Don't be fooled by what we say it
Sick like they know but they don't

Almost to much to be enough
I'm make it out somehow
I know your watching
Ah don't you miss it
When it was now


11.Symptoms

It can do just what you want.
Summer tan, these little symptoms you got.
Water cool these bones down, you're so hot.
Waves can break these feelings like they're not.

So, sweet little lover won't you let me know?
Like a circle round and round we go.
Now we see what we're gonna regret.
How did the water get so cold?

So we soldier on, with burning feet we run.
And here our bodies lay with our own road so far away.
Water cool these bones down, it's so hot.
Waves can break these feelings like they're not.

So, sweet little lover won't you let me know?
Like a circle round and round we go.
Now we see what we're gonna regret.
How did the water get so cold?

Sweet little lover won't you let me know
Now we see what we're gonna forget.
Never know what we're gonna regret.
Like a circle round and round we go.
Now we see what we're gonna forget.
How did the water get so cold?
