Back Door

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.

As I look out in the night

And count the stars all shining bright

I wonder where I am and where I'm going

Sometimes I think I've lived before

I seem to see beyond a door

But it's just a crazy notion I leave showing

I live my life as sensitive as possible then one day

Maybe I'll wake up young again

With feelings of a new day

But what we feel I know we'll miss

And someday I'll look back at this

And know by then the life that we were meant for

But I see you're leaving

Leaving my back door

You want the world to give you some

You fight a war that's never won

And you come back scarred 'caus you've seen who's really dying

You reach a point where nothing lasts

You play a part that someone casts you into

Now their machines keep right on lying

I want the world to be a place where no one comes to suffer

Just give the pain an empty space away from one another

Let's seal our words with a kiss

'Cause someday we'll look back at this

We'll know by then the life that we were meant for

But are you leaving?

Leaving by my back door
