Like I Used to Do
Embracing Love's Timeless Flame
Lyrics
There was a time when we?d be the last to leave
There was a time when we used to be the last to leave.
Watching the sun come up while everyone fell asleep
Observing the sunrise while others fell asleep.
The music was always loud and I?d smoke and drink too much
The music was always loud, and the speaker used to smoke and drink excessively.
Until I?d fall in your arms and into your lovin? touch
After indulging in vices, the speaker would fall into the arms of their loved one and experience their affectionate touch.
Now as the years roll by, time has reeled me in
As time has passed, the speaker has become more restrained and less wild.
I?ve slowed down a notch or two from the way things were then
The speaker has slowed down from their previous lifestyle.
Those old ways of mine, I?ve left them behind
The speaker has abandoned their old ways.
Those crazy days are through
The wild and crazy days are over.
The only thing I still do like I used to do
The only thing the speaker still does as they used to is carry a torch for someone.
Is carry this torch for you
Despite changes, the speaker continues to hold a flame for the person they love.
Remember the days when we?d pack our bags and run
Recalling the times when the speaker and their loved one would spontaneously embark on adventures.
Chasing a crazy dream into the morning sun
Pursuing ambitious dreams until the morning sun.
Now as the twilight falls, I find I?m satisfied
With the onset of twilight, the speaker finds contentment.
Watching the fire glow as long as you?re by my side
Enjoying the warmth of a fire as long as their loved one is present.
Here in my heart it seems, time has passed me by
Reflecting on the passage of time, the speaker feels love as strong as the first time.
I love you as much today as the very first time
Expressing enduring love for their partner.
Those old ways of mine, I?ve left them behind
The speaker has abandoned their old ways.
Those crazy days are through
The wild and crazy days are over.
The only thing I still do like I used to do
The only thing the speaker still does as they used to is carry a torch for someone.
Is carry this torch for you
Despite changes, the speaker continues to hold a flame for the person they love.
I still want you the way I wanted you then
The speaker still desires their loved one as intensely as before.
If I could do it all over, I?d do it all over again
If given the chance, the speaker would repeat their experiences with their loved one.
Those old ways of mine, I?ve left them behind
The speaker has abandoned their old ways.
Those crazy days are through
The wild and crazy days are over.
The only thing I still do like I used to do
The only thing the speaker still does as they used to is carry a torch for someone.
Is carry this torch for you
Despite changes, the speaker continues to hold a flame for the person they love.
