    Will the marker stain the skin?
    Stole the dress I saw you in
    Now nothing comes to mind
    Saw a life as override
    One more session overdrive
    The ceiling is the roof

    Change address and draw a line
    Show my friends the silver line
    Call my family just to know they're there

    Sleepin' in late like I used to
    Crossing my fingers like I used to
    Waiting inside like I used to
    Avoiding big crowds like I used to

    Crawl the field and let you in
    Brand my heart I found you in
    To say nothing's more apart
    Will my lover be there, stay
    Follow them to less the pain
    The ceiling must be wrong

    Well, my head's gone today
    Sell my past for a way
    To sing and have something left to say
    Pray my hands, pray my voice
    Give the reason, take away
    Make believe an order for to stay

    Lighting one up like I used to
    Dancing all alone like I used to
    Giving it up like I used to
    Falling in love like I used to

    Open my heart like I used to
    Making out long like I used to
    Holding hands openly, rights to
    Taking what's mine like I used to

    Like I used to (like I used to)
    Like I used to (like I used to) Writer/s: Angel L Olsen, Sharon Van Etten
