The Way You Used to Do Lyrics
When I first met her she was seventeen
Seventeen
Jump like an arsonist to a perfect match
Burned alive
We run 'til no one could find us
Girl, we outrun everyone
But it doesn't matter now
Just come and love me how
Like the way you used to do
Yeah
Is love mental disease or lucky fever dream?
Fine with either
Gave birth to monsters who will terrorize normalcy, yeah
They'll terrorize
If the world exploded behind us
I never noticed if it done
Let nobody dare confine us
I'll bury anyone who does
But it doesn't matter now
Just come and love me how
Like the way you used to do
Now
The way you used to do
My heart, a ding-a-ling, a puppet on a string
C'est la vie
So lay your hands across my beating heart, love
If the world exploded behind us
I never noticed if it done
Let nobody dare confine us
I'll bury anyone who does
But it doesn't matter now
Just come and love me how
Like the way you used to do
Used to do
Like the way you used to do
Come and love me now
Like the way you used to do
Like the way you used to do
Seventeen
Jump like an arsonist to a perfect match
Burned alive
Girl, we outrun everyone
Just come and love me how
Like the way you used to do
Yeah
Fine with either
Gave birth to monsters who will terrorize normalcy, yeah
They'll terrorize
I never noticed if it done
Let nobody dare confine us
I'll bury anyone who does
Just come and love me how
Like the way you used to do
Now
The way you used to do
C'est la vie
So lay your hands across my beating heart, love
I never noticed if it done
Let nobody dare confine us
I'll bury anyone who does
Just come and love me how
Like the way you used to do
Used to do
Come and love me now
Like the way you used to do
Like the way you used to do
