The Way It Used To Be Lyrics

We were young
We were never growing old
And the glitter was still gold
They way it used to be

It was love
It was easy just to smile
It was easy for a while
The Way It Used To Be

But even stars they fade
And colors turn to grey
I miss yesterday
And the way it used to be

And I can't turn back time
Even if I tried
I miss you tonight
And girl I miss the way it used to be

Look at you
You've got the life, the pretty house
But you must still think about
The way it used to be

Is it real
He don't love you like I do
Can we just go back to
The way it used to be

'Cause even stars they fade
And colors turn to grey
I miss yesterday
And the way it used to be

And I can't turn back time
Even if I tried
I miss you tonight
And girl I miss the way it used to be

And girl I miss the way

Look at us
Just look what we've become
Just a shell of what was once
The way it used to be

Even stars they fade
And colors turn to grey
I miss yesterday
And the way it used to be

And I can't turn back time
Even if I tried
I miss you tonight
And girl I miss the way it used to be

And girl I miss the way it used to be
And girl I miss the way it used to be

The Way It Used To Be

This uptempo track was released as the first single from Mike Posner's second album, Pages. According to the singer-songwriter it is "just a fun, fun song. Strong melodies… and it's about the girl that got away."

Posner titled the record after the notebook that he carries around everywhere he goes. "My album is called Pages because I write all my songs, and my poems and my goals in life in this notebook," he explained. "So I titled the album 'Pages, because it's really just a few pages from my notebook that turned into the album."

My Light Lyrics

My Light

This song comes from a personal place as Posner reflects on his career to date. "I think a lot of people [are] scared to tell the truth in songs," he told The Boombox . "Especially when it's something that's not … flattering about themselves. I was one of those artists when I first started. I would always pretend I was perfect. That s— is so corny. Imperfect is the new perfect, you know? I just try to keep it real in my lyrics [now] — I have to tell the truth."

Posner sings here of still feeling unfilled even after getting a record deal and achieving some success in his recording career. "I think a lot of people in their late teens and early 20s [think], 'If I just get a dream job or money, that [will] fill the hole that I have in my heart,'" he told The Boombox. "My parents always told me money doesn't buy happiness, but I always thought that was something that people who didn't have enough money say."

"I remember saying, 'Man, I'll just get this deal, and I'll be good.' So, I went for it and I got it, but it didn't make me happy," Posner continued. "That's almost like succeeding [in] your goals and not getting filled up is almost a bigger problem than failing. That's what I went through, and that's what I've gone through for the last two [or] three years."
