Love The Way We Used To
Estelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Haven't seen you lately
Happy you could come around
Do you want a drink or
Something good to eat it
Seems like you might stay a while
What was that you said you
Really love my place and
Well let me take your coat go
Chill out on the sofa
Tell me why I miss this vibe
Let's talk
Let's just let this day
Take us where we are
Don't be scared it's cool
It's just us
It's good so good
Times change and I still want you
It's good so good
To find love the way we used to
I've been really good just
Acting like it's cool some
Times I miss the days gone by
Remember you and I are
[?]
Starts I said you weren't my type
Well now you're on your business
I'm here making hits and
Yeah our lives have turned out nice
No I'm not getting misty
No you cannot kiss me
Even though I might not mind
It's cold
Cold outside I know
Would you like those [?]
Still the same you too close
Close to me
It's good so good
Times change and I still want you
It's good so good
To find love the way we used to
It's about to storm and
Here it's kind of warm and
You could stay but take the couch
I'm a wrap my hair up
Go remove my make up
When did you get muscled out
I already know you
Don't think I don't know you
Try and creep into my bed
Maybe I might would let you
Maybe cause I miss you
Maybe we're just fooling ourselves
It's good so good
Times change and I still want you
It's good so good
To find love the way we used to
It's good so good
Times change and I still want you
It's good so good
To find love the way we used to
Know I already know you
Don't think I don't know you
Try and creep into my bed
I think I might let you
It's because I miss you
Yeah we're just fooling ourselves
In Estelle's song "Love The Way We Used To", the singer is catching up with an old flame after a long period of not seeing each other. They are both happy to see each other and the atmosphere is relaxed. They reminisce about their past and how things used to be between them. Although they both acknowledge that they have moved on with their individual lives, they still have feelings for each other. However, they are both holding back as they are not sure if it's a good idea to pursue something romantic again.
The lyrics suggest that they almost succumb to their feelings but decide to play it safe instead. The line "Maybe we're just fooling ourselves" implies that they are aware that a romantic reunion may not be practical, but they are drawn to each other regardless. The song ends with the singer saying that maybe she will let the ex-bed with her, but it's because she misses him and not because she believes there is potential for a rekindled relationship.
Overall, the lyrics describe the complexity of rekindling a relationship with an ex. The emotions are raw, and the memories of the past can be vivid. However, there is a sense of caution and uncertainty as the parties involved have grown and changed as individuals.
