That Was Then, This Is Now Letra - Jack White

Yeah, do you know where to go

When you're walking around at midnight?

You can look high and low

But you won't find yourself without a flashlight

There are plenty of ways to explain your situation

When you're searching for love, you have no time to be patient

I looked all over town, all around

I didn't see you anywhere

You were safe and sound, underground

Where I couldn't see you at all

I found myself, right at home on the shelf

While you were busy looking for yourself there

That was then and this is now

And now the time has come

There was a time when a boy would cry alone in his room, in the corner

And it's a crime that his toys would turn to stone like their original owners

But that was then and this is now

We all just figure it out somehow

Yes, we do

Ain't it true?

Find yourself over the hill

Break your crown, Jack and Jill

In the open or underground

Are you making plans or just making sounds?

Looking up and over the moon

You can find yourself, but don't find it too soon

Yeah, but don't find it too soon

Take your time, but don't find it too soon

I looked all over town, all around

I couldn't find you anywhere

You were safe underground, not a sound

Disappearing into thin air
