Well I guess you had to be there Such a different place I was cruisin' along Never thinkin' that we'd ever change Yeah I guess you had to be there It was a hell of a ride Lines were blurry and hurried But it felt like the stars had aligned We were sharin' a new day Singing a new song And everyone's problems Were suddenly gone Everything I ever wanted Is right before my face Tell all the beautiful people Were always at my place Well I guess you had to be there All we wanted was more There were winners and losers And people passed out on my floor And you know you should've called me For that real good time Guess you missed some of the gold When you're too busy chasin' the shine We were sharing a new day Sipping on a new wine And everyone's problems Were suddenly mine And all you ever wanted Was right in front of your face Starts as a good thing Turns into a hate
