Comeback Story
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I spent my twenties at the bottom of the bottle
The whiskey only filled up till I was hollow
Now regrets a harder thing to swallow down
Ooo, ooo, ooo
Well every single day and night I wasted
I only wish I could go back and erase it
I'm gonna take it like a man and face it all
Ooo, ooo, ooo
Sometimes I get the feeling love is only just a breath away
Sometimes I get the feeling I can't find the words to say
I'm getting closer, and I know I'm gonna make you mine
I'm getting closer, but I'm gonna let you take your time
Oh, oh, oh, oooohh
Oh, nothings ever what it seems, life's been good to me
Oh, oh, oh, oooohh
Yeah, you've been waiting here a long time walking on a thin line
Oh, oh, no pain no glory
Everybody likes a good comeback story
Every chance I had to love, I rejected
Left my woman alone and neglected
Is our life too mangled to be mended now
Ooo ooo ooo
I was half a world away, you were dying
Never looked into your eyes, they were crying
Baby, you're the light in my life shining on
Ooo ooo ooo
Sometimes I get the feeling love is only just a breath away
Sometimes I get the feeling I can't find the words to say
I'm getting closer, and I know I'm gonna make you mine
I'm getting closer, but I'm gonna let you take your time
Oh, oh, oh, oooohh
Oh, nothings ever what it seems life's been good to me
Oh, oh, oh, oooohh
Yeah, you've been waiting here a long time walking on a thin line
Oh, oh, no pain no glory
Everybody likes a good comeback story
I know you wanna leave I'm begging you to stay
Cause this is too important just to throw it all away
Now I don't wanna ride this out too long babe
Just stay with me for one more song
Sometimes I get the feeling love is only just a breath away
Sometimes I get the feeling I can't find the words to say
I'm getting closer and I know I'm gonna make you mine
I'm getting closer but I'm gonna let you take your time
Oh, oh, oh, oooohh
Oh, nothings ever what it seems life's been good to me
Oh, oh, oh, oooohh
Yeah, you've been waiting here a long time walking on a thin line
Oh, oh, oh, no pain no glory
Everybody likes a good comeback story
Oh, man, I felt some pain and some glory
But everybody love's a good comeback story
