It used to be, but not anymore
  Time slipped through my fingers to the floor
  It used to be, but not anymore
  Tipped my hat and walked through the door
    It used to be the greatest thing to catch fireflies in the evening
  And to watch cartoons in my underwear
  It used to be my greatest fear
  Was what the girl sitting in front of me would say about my hair
    But now it's so hard, I'm so far from where I have been
  I cannot win anymore
  Now I sometimes cry, wonder why, oh I can't stand it
  Why can't it be like before?
    It used to be the greatest thing to get in Your presence
  Get lost in You and revel in Your majesty
  It used to be I'd spend an evening alone with You
  Get lost in You and hear You speak to me
    Why can't it be like before?
