Oh If you could see me now You wouldn't recognize me now I know I was your best friend then And maybe if we met again You know it's always the same old story The hero gets out alive Rides away into the morning While the rest of us are stuck in time Everybody wants to go with her But I was never one to run She was a big fish in a little pond And I was just another little fish Holdin' on Oh If you could see me now You wouldn't recognize me now I know I was your best friend then And maybe if we met again You'd say Let's just get back to the way it was We could try to make it like it was Baby If you Let me I could make it better than it was We could just get back to the way it was I could make it better than it was We used to talk about a new beginning I never thought I'd be the one Goin' ninety on the freeway Ridin' in a Mustang Lookin' for fun Sittin' in a big house on a hill now But I could never shake it off I'm still a little fish in a big pond You're just another big fish In a song Oh If you could see me now You wouldn't recognize me now I know I was your best friend then And maybe if we met again You'd say Let's just get back to the way it was We could try to make it like it was Baby If you Let me I could make it better than it was We could just get back to the way it was I could make it better than it was Did you stay 'cause you Got cold feet or you Got too scared? Or you stayed 'Cause it's hard to leave So you stopped and stared At the fork in the road with a foot on the brake and a grip on the wheel But it's no one's fault if they didn't have the same appeal If you could see me now You wouldn't recognize me now I know I was your best friend then And maybe if we met again
