Then, Not Now

I'm dressed in navy
From top to toe
My lips match also
It's cold up north

You're clothed in sunlight
A sanguine robe
Your hair's a glare
A meridian glow

I loved you best and I love you still
But you know me then, not now
I feel confounded but also at home
'Cause you know me then, not now

I've got your laughter
Stuck in my head
A shaking rattle
A phantom drum

And now you're talking
A holy tongue
I used to speak but the years have undone

I loved you best and I love you still
But you know me then, not now
I feel confounded but also at home
'Cause you know me then, not now

I hope I've changed for the better
Right now my view seems rather dark
It is our noblest endeavour
To improve upon the past

I loved you best and I love you still
But you know me then, not now
I feel confounded but also at home
'Cause you know me then, not now

I'm dressed in navy
From top to toe
My lips match also
It's cold up North

You're clothed in sunlight
A sanguine robe
Your hair's a glare
A meridian glow
