We Cut Corners - This Is Then lyrics

[Verse 1] When I met you at a low ebb I liked you, I wanted to get to know you worse On our first adventure we shared A lot of d**, a lot of shrugs, not a lot of words Evidently we had terrible luck We were on the same page of a different book [Chorus] I would hurt if you if I could I would hurt if you if I could You know it might just do you good You know it might just do you good You said I'll always be your friend I said I'll always be your friend But that was now and this is then [Verse 2] Following on from our conversation We agreed, that what you need is somebody to provide It may appear an apparent contradiction but These days you've got to wait to be taken by supprise Pity it didn't materialise It's lucky that I'm so good at goodbyes [Chorus] I would hurt if you if I could I would hurt if you if I could You know it might just do you good You know it might just do you good You said I'll always be your friend I said I'll always be your friend But that was now and this is then [Bridge] If your lies are anything to go by you're alright And if your eyes are capable of such lies you'll do fine If your considering continuing in the bloodline I just might I just might [Chorus] I would hurt if you if I could I would hurt if you if I could You know it might just do you good You know it might just do you good You said I'll always be your friend I said I'll always be your friend But that was now and this is then But that was now and this is then (But that was now and this is then)
