Let's take it back to a one-way street
To a flashing light
The air is sweet
Let's take it back to the break of dawn
I heard our song
And sang it loud
Can we go back to the times we used to know
Visit all the places we used to go
Take my hand let's go back
Once more
(chorus)
Back before the storm
I held your hand
Before the storm
My wish was your command
Before the storm
I knew how things would end
Before the storm
You were my friend
Let's take it back to a midnight stroll
We're all alone
The air is cold
Let's take it back to a party dress
You looked your best
And you smiled at me
Can we go back to the things we used to do
Sing our favorite songs all out of tune
Take my hand, let's go back
Once more
(chorus)
Back before the storm
I held your hand
Before the storm
My wish was your command
Before the storm
I knew how things would end
Before the storm
You were my friend
For a while there I thought
We would last forever
Then the clouds and the rain
Came and washed those thoughts away
Now when I see you
I don't smile, I don't wave
Cuz the storm came
And took you
(chorus)
Back before the storm
I held your hand
Before the storm
My wish was your command
Before the storm
I knew how things would end
Before the storm
I was your sun
Before the storm
You were the one
Before the storm
I thought my search was done
Before the storm you were
