This track explores the theme of longing for a past love – one that was intense, passionate, and seemingly invincible. The lyrics reflect on a youthful relationship, marked by rebelliousness and a sense of invincibility. The protagonist yearns for the return of this fiery romance, despite acknowledging its potential destructive nature ("Gave birth to monsters who will terrorize normalcy"). The recurring phrase "The way you used to do" signifies a desire to rekindle the passion they once shared. This notion is further emphasized with lines like "If the world exploded behind us, I'd never notice if it done", suggesting an all-consuming affection that makes everything else insignificant. Overall, it's a nostalgic reflection on intense young love and a plea for its revival.
The Way You Used to Do
Lyrics
Hey
When I first met her she was seventeen
Seventeen
Jump like an arsonist to a perfect match
Burned alive
We run 'til no one could find us
Girl, we outrun everyone
But it doesn't matter now
Just come and love me how
Like the way you used to do
Yeah
Is love mental disease or lucky fever dream?
Fine with either
Gave birth to monsters who will terrorize normalcy, yeah
They'll terrorize
If the world exploded behind us
I'd never notice if it done
Let nobody dare confine us
I'll bury anyone who does
But it doesn't matter now
Just come and love me how
Like the way you used to do (ooh)
Now
The way you used to do
My heart's a ding-a-ling, a puppet on a string
C'est la vie
So lay your hands across my beating heart, love
If the world exploded behind us
I'd never notice if it done
Let nobody dare confine us
I'll bury anyone who does
But it doesn't matter now
Just come and love me how
Like the way you used to do
Used to do
The way you used to do
Come and love me now
The way you used to do
The way you used to do
