You're complicating things
I need some room to breathe
I gotta get back to simplicity
If you want more than this, then tell me what it is I gotta do
All this is killing me
I need you to see that something's gotta change

Can we go back to the way we used to be
Back to the butterflies, staring deep in your eyes
Can we go back to how we used to be
When living and loving was easy
We gotta find a way to fool reality
Can we go back to the way we used to be

When did we mess it up
What happened to love
We had it good but it wasn't enough
We shouldn't let it fade, all the way
We're over thinking this way too much
I want you next to me but something's gotta change

Can we go back to the way we used to be
Back to the butterflies, staring deep in your eyes
Can we go back to how we used to be
When living and loving was easy
We gotta find a way to fool reality
Can we go back to the way we used to be

Can we go back
Can we go back to the way
Can we go back
Can we go back to the way we used to be
Can we go back
Oh, I'm getting tired of the fight (Can we go back to the way)
We can't pretend that it's alright (Can we go back)
I'm slowly losing hope
Baby, can we try

Can we go back to the way we used to be
Back to the butterflies, staring deep in your eyes
Can we go back to how we used to be
When living and loving was easy
We gotta find a way to fool reality
Can we go back
We gotta find a way to fool reality
Can we go back
We gotta find a way to fool reality
Can we go back to the way we used to be
