Copied!

{Chorus}
Cheap milkshakes and crinkle fries
Slender frames and twinkled eyes
Was it ever really like that?
Was it ever really like that?
Deepest pain, a sweet surprise
Peeling paint, sepia-dyed
Was it ever really like that?
Was it ever really like that?

{Verse 1}

It's been some time
And I wonder if it's still somewhere inside
