Tekster: Lalah Hataway. Self Portrait. That Was Then.

Nah, nah, nahh... nah, nah, nahh... ohhhh
Nah, nah, nahh... nah, nah, nahh... mmm-mmm
Nah, nah, nahh... nah, nah, nahh... heyyy
Nah, nah, nahh...

[Verse 1:]
Going thru changes
I'm back where I once began...
Mmmmm...
A distant stranger
I used to know
So long ago...
Mmmmm...
Yeah yeah yeah...

Enlighten me lighten me up
Make me all over again
Come on and let me in, yeah

[Chorus:]
It was like a lifetime pass right thru my fingers
So long ago, so much that I didn't know
Kinda like a light shined down and showed me how
Gotta move on, that was then and this is now

[Verse 2:]
Waking up it seems
Am I the dreamer or the dream...
Mmmmm...
Is it possible to know (is it possible to know)
Tomorrow unfolds too slow, yeah
Yeahhhh... yeah yeah yeah...

Shaken me waken me up
Clearing my vision again
Seems like I'm born again...
Ohhh-ohhhhhhh

[Chorus:]
It was like a lifetime pass right thru my fingers
So long ago, so much that I didn't know
Kinda like a light shined down and showed me how
Gotta move on, that was then and this is now [x2]

That was then, this is now, ohhh...

Going thru changes
Nah, nah, nahh... nah, nah, nahh
Back where I was again, oh
Nah, nah, nahh... nah, nah, nahh
Going thru changes
Oh, oh, ohhhhhhh, ohhhhhhh

[Chorus:]
It was like a lifetime pass right thru my fingers
So long ago, so much that I didn't know
Kinda like a light shined down and showed me how
Gotta move on, that was then and this is now [x3]
