I used to be an angel
I used to talk to God
I used to believe in miracles
A miracle of love
I used to be a space boy
Yeah a race boy
I used to be not far
You told me you're not worth the pain
I say you're a liar,
You're a liar,
You're a liar
But I am free
Stood upon the edge and looked over
And I see
And that pretty face so out of place
That broken smile somehow worthwhile
But I wanna hear you laugh
I wanna see you cry
I wanna wipe the tears that fall from your eye
I saw you last night
You said you'd be there today
We'd meet at your car next to the (stay?)
I'm not better than most of my friends
Now they're just like me
But I don't blame them for my actions
I'm a ....see,
What we'll see
But I am free
Stood upon the edge and looked over
And that's me
And that pretty face so out of place
That broken smile somehow worthwhile
Say that you're gone but you came for me
Yeah you see me I'm me
And you came for me
Now you know now that you're away
I wanna hear you laugh
I wanna see you cry
I wanna wipe the tears that fall from your eye
I saw you last night
You said you'd be there today
We'd meet at your car next to the (stay?)
I woke up this morning and I said to myself
How you gonna change the world when you're stuck upon the shelf?
It's the big things I remember
The little things I forgot
When you add it all up that's a hell of a lot
The things that I missed and one thing to the day before
It's all one but it's just a little bit more
They said it's gone
But I wanna hear you laugh
I wanna see you cry
I wanna wipe the tears that fall from your eye
I saw you last night
You said you'd be there today
We'd meet at your car next to the (stay?)
I used to be an angel
I used to talk to God
And I used to believe in miracles
A miracle went wrong, all wrong, all wrong, all wrong
One of my favs
" Used to be" is one of my favorite Stabilo songs I listen to it daily. It would be great if someday they will re-record and release it.
agreed 'used to be' is
agreed 'used to be' is amazing I listen to it and alot of others daily. I like sight for sore eyes too
agreed
i agree completely. it's amazing.
my favourite Stabilo live moment is when I saw them play a show in Ottawa on Oct 30, 2004 and my friend and I requested Used To Be before the show even began.
Jesse couldn't believe that we knew that song. He said he didn't know if they could play it, but that if we went to the show two days later at another venue, they would try to re-learn it and play it for us.
Two days later, my friend and I show up at the show. We didn't see the guys before they went on this time, but when they went on stage, they saw us. Sure enough, right after the first song, they said "we promised to play this song to someone if they showed up, and well that's them in the back there. this song is called Used To Be".
After the show we thanked the guys. It was incredible. Karl actually said that it was the first time he had ever played that song, and he had to completely learn it within the day or two, but that he was really glad, and absolutely enjoyed it.
Definitely my favourite Stabilo live moment.
that might be the only time
that might be the only time the full-band played it, but I heard this song (during an acoustic set with just chris & jesse, but karl was there) at the Surrey Alliance Church on 2002-06-14. One of my favourites as well..
