That Was Then This Is Now
Vitamin C Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like my first time on the night we met
I wish I could go back there tonight, tonight
Looking in your eyes the way you held me tight
Where'd it all the wrong, when it felt so right
There's nowhere I'd rather be tonight, tonight
Tonight
Funny how you said people never change
But that was then and this is now
Funny how I held onto your every word
Trusted and believed, no matter what I heard
But that was then and this is now
You and me were like a movie scene
Superstars playing in a teenage dream
There's no rewinding life tonight, tonight
Guess you could've broken someone else's heart
I'm the lucky winner because I played the part
Don't want to say goodbye tonight, tonight
Tonight
Funny how you said people never change
Always be together 'til the very end
But that was then and this is now
Funny how I held onto your every word
Trusted and believed no matter what I heard
But that was then and this is now
You said "I'll be your first, my love"
There'll never ever be another one
Don't worry I'll tell no one
You and me together'll be so much fun
You said "I'll be your first, my love"
There'll never ever be another one
Don't worry I'll tell no one
You and me together'll be so much fun
Sometimes you gotta let things be
Even when the truth is that you lied to me
I want to keep these thoughts away, from me
From me
It's the little things that I dream about
That no one ever talks about
The little things I think about
That no one ever dreams about
The kisses that were promises
That were suppose to be planned
Funny how you said people never change
Always be together 'til the very end
But that was then and this is now
Funny how I held onto your every word
Trusted and believed, no matter what I heard
But that was then and this is now
Funny how you said we would never change
Let me tell you something baby, life is strange
But that was then and this is now
Remember me, like I remember you
Remember me, like I remember you
Remember me, like I remember you
The song "That Was Then This Is Now" by Vitamin C is about the contrast between the singer's memories of a past relationship and the current reality. She remembers the early days of the relationship fondly, even though it didn't end well. The singer wishes she could go back to the night they met, where everything felt perfect. The line "Funny how you said people never change, always be together 'til the very end, but that was then and this is now" suggests that the singer's ex-partner promised a future together but didn't keep that promise. The singer trusted and believed every word that was said to her, but she knows that the relationship is over now. She reflects on how they were like superstars in a teenage dream, but now, there's no going back. The song ends with a message of remembrance, both for the good times and for the bad, and a desire to move on.

Some things I guess I won't forget
I have certain memories that I can't forget
Like my first time on the night we met
I remember our first meeting and the special moment we had
I wish I could go back there tonight, tonight
I wish I could relive that moment tonight
Looking in your eyes the way you held me tight
I vividly recall how tightly you held me while looking in my eyes
Where'd it all the wrong, when it felt so right
I'm wondering where things went wrong when everything felt so right
There's nowhere I'd rather be tonight, tonight
I can't think of any place I'd prefer to be tonight
Funny how you said people never change
It's funny that you said people never change
Always be together 'til the very end
You promised that we'll always be together till the end
But that was then and this is now
Things have changed since then and it's not the same anymore
Funny how I held onto your every word
It's funny how I clung onto every word you said
Trusted and believed, no matter what I heard
I trusted and believed you no matter what I heard
You and me were like a movie scene
Our love was like a scene from a movie
Superstars playing in a teenage dream
We were like superstars in a dreamy teenage love story
There's no rewinding life tonight, tonight
I can't go back and change things tonight
Guess you could've broken someone else's heart
You could've broken someone else's heart but I was the lucky one
I'm the lucky winner because I played the part
I consider myself lucky for being a part of your life
Don't want to say goodbye tonight, tonight
I don't want to say goodbye to you tonight
Sometimes you gotta let things be
Sometimes it's better to let things be
Even when the truth is that you lied to me
Even if the truth is that you lied to me, I still have to let things be
I want to keep these thoughts away, from me
I want to avoid thinking about these things
It's the little things that I dream about
It's the little things that I fantasize about
That no one ever talks about
These are things that I don't share with anyone
The little things I think about
These are the little things that keep coming to my mind
That no one ever dreams about
These are the things that nobody else dreams about
The kisses that were promises
Our kisses were promises of love
That were suppose to be planned
We were supposed to plan our future together
Let me tell you something baby, life is strange
Life is unpredictable and can be strange sometimes
Remember me, like I remember you
I want you to remember me just the way I remember you
