Lyrics
Back To Where I Was
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.
New life decides to come through the front door
and makes us wish we'd shown respect before
though i don't have much of a choice
I resolve to regain my voice
Chorus:
If I only just begin to understand it that's because
everytime I start to change my mind again
It gets me back to where I was
It gets me back to where I was
new life decides we never had a clue
the two of us deciding what to do
though my hands are all but tied
I rebound so I can say at least I tried
Chorus
and long as I'm allowed I'll change my mind that's what it's for
I'm getting older but I'm still the same I'm just thinking anymore
Chorus
