The Past

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.

If love is blind I will see you

If love is lost I will hunt

I'm crawling back, I'm crawling back oh baby

I'm crawling back, I'm crawling back for more

If love is cold I will warm you

If love is dark I will bring light

I'm crawling back, I'm crawling back oh baby

I'm crawling back, I'm crawling back for more

Cause I, I, I get a little lost from my home

I, I, I, I'm still here, in our home

If I really need you

Would you walk back through the door?

Should I keep looking

I keep searching through the past, the past

All or not no no

Need you

Would you walk back through the door?

Should I keep looking

I keep searching through the past, the past ohh

(It's so lonely)

When you're sexing on a car tonight

Everytime I message you delete it

I'm crawling back, I'm crawling back oh baby

I keep crawling back, crawling back for more

Cause I, I, I get a little lost from our home

I, I, I, I'm still here in our home

If I really need you

Would you walk back through the door?

Should I keep looking

I keep searching through the past, the past

All or not no no

Need you

Would you walk back through the door?

Should I keep looking

I keep searching through the past

The past ohh

(It's so lonely)

Scream it out on the driver baby

Screaming outside our door

I need your love like before

(I need your love like before)

Save me from this loneliness and pick me off the floor

I need your love like before

If I really need you

Would you walk back through the door?

Ohh if I really need you

Would you walk back through the door?

Should I keep looking

I keep searching through the past, the past

All or not no no

If I need you

Would you walk back through the door?

Should I keep looking

I keep searching through the past, the past all

When love is blind I would see you

When love is lost I would hunt

I'm crawling back, I'm crawling back oh baby

I'm crawling back, I'm crawling back again
