Lyrics

Straight Back Down

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.

You know I find it hard to sleep when

I'm sleeping by myself

And I’m lying in the spare room

Thinking I should be somewhere else

You should know when we've been drinking

We can Sabotage ourselves

Like smashing up the kitchen

No, there's nothing that seems to help

And I don’t want to wake you up

Tell you that I'm leaving town

I already packed my stuff

Can't go back now

But the way you look brings me straight back down

I don't want to wake you up right now

I was ready to go, ready to go

I don't want to wake you up right now

I was ready to go, ready to go

I don't want to wake you up right now

You're breaking out the windows

While I was tearing down the doors

And now I'm picking up the ashtray

That you threw against the wall

’Cause we take, and we take just a little more

I have no idea what we’re fighting for

Now we're standing right here outside your door

Now I know, now I know

And I don’t want to wake you up

Tell you that I'm leaving town

I already packed my stuff

Can't go back now

But the way you look brings me straight back down

I don't want to wake you up right now

I was ready to go, ready to go

I don’t want to wake you up right now

I was ready to go, ready to go

I don't want to wake you up right now

'Cause I can't live with you, I can't live without you

You feel like home, you feel like home

'Cause I can't live with you, I can't live without you

You feel like home, you feel like home

And I don't want to wake you up

Tell you that I'm leaving town

I already packed my stuff

Can't go back now

But the way you look brings me straight back down

I don't want to wake you up right now

I was ready to go, ready to go

I don't want to wake you up right now

(Can't live with you, I can't live without you)

I was ready to go, ready to go

I don't want to wake you up right now

(Can't live with you, I can't live without you)

I was ready to go, ready to go

I don't want to wake you up right now
