back then - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

It's barely been a week, but it hits like a year

And like an acid trip that got fucked up, you've really left your mark 'round here

You've really left your mark inside, along the walls that line my mind

And if you hadn't wished, well your luck's up, because those walls have disappeared

Back then, back then, things would never happen

In town, in town, you would always sport a frown

'Cause you were nothing, when you felt the heat

You were nothing, but everything to me

Back to the start, East Croydon station, 21st century heartbreak car chase

Running from the law

Trapped in the art of broken patience, when he first bent she marked a fast pace

Caution prompting sure

Flash-back forward to today, I've been saved by your grace

Pace and time were key to get you next to me

When you're not in my sheets, you trail my every dream

Flash-back forward to today, I've been saved (I've been saved)

Back then, back then, things would never happen

In town, in town, you would always sport a frown

'Cause you were nothing, when you felt the heat

You were nothing, but everything to me

Back then, back then

Back then, back then, woah

Back then, back then, back

Back then, back then

Back then

Back then, back then
