back then, right now

when we were kids
we watched as men went to the moon
and our brothers and cousins went far away too
when we were kids
we each lived in our own worlds
one awkward little boy, one beautiful girl

back then, if I had bumped into you
I'd have stumbled and stammered
wouldn't know what to do
back then, I'd have been a fool

back then, if you'd been lookin at me
with those eyes and that smile
trying to get me to you
back then, I'd have been a fool

when we were teens
girl, you were lookin so hot
and then there was me, thinking I'm not
when we were teens
you were way too smart
I was too blind to movements of my heart

back then, if I had bumped into you
I'd have stumbled and stammered
wouldn't know what to do
back then, I'd have been a fool

back then, if you'd been lookin at me
with those eyes and that smile
trying to get me to you
back then, I'd have been a fool

here we are now
in a different time and place
and that sweet smile is still on your face
here we are now
and you're giving me that look
I can tell you 'xactly how I feel about you
yeah right now

back then, if I had bumped into you
I'd have stumbled and stammered
wouldn't know what to do
back then, I'd have been a fool
right now, here you are, lookin at me
with those eyes and that smile
trying to get me to you
right now, I'm gonna be loves' fool
cos I'm running to you

back then, right now
how things have changed
i'm coming around
right now, back then
the pendulum swung
now it's swinging again
back then, right now
I was running from love
now I'm diving right in
right now (back then)
right now (back then)
right now
