Lyrics
Let's return to a place that we used to know,
An irrational place where we used to go
There's a place in my heart where the past softly sings
An irrational place; we did irrational things
Let's return to a place that we used to know,
An irrational place where we used to go
We'd wake up in the morning sun,
Remember when we were young
There's a place in my heart where the past softly sings,
An irrational place; we did irrational things
Remember when we were young?
We'd wake up the morning sun
Sometime, maybe once in your life,
You won't choose to, love will choose you
Let's return to a place that we used to know,
An irrational place where we used to go
Remember when we were young?
We'd wake up the morning sun
Sometime, maybe once in your life,
You won't choose to, love will choose you
Now after twelve long years we both have changed
But the question's still the same
Is it crazier to be apart or for us to try again?
Now, if this whole damn time I've been in your thoughts
Just like you're telling me
Then how can you say love is not reality?
Sometime, maybe once in your life,
You won't choose to, love will choose you
