Back Seat

I started shaking in the back seat

I just couldn’t look out

The bells were ringing

Into the night

Everything looked so familiar

Though I’d been away for years

But oh please forgive me

I just can’t stay

I know you’ve tried

So hard to make things right

But I can’t take no more

What this place has got in store

‘Cause everywhere you turn there’s someone dragging you right down

Turn back the clock

To when we used to meet at the park

Round about midnight

When we felt safe

We danced around the ruins

Till you said “Nothing’s wrong,

What are you scared of?

You’ve got your dreams”

Throw the dice

And play back “Summertime”

So I don’t have to take a stand

While you figure out your plans

I never thought they’d work out

And I could never quite see it

The light that burned around you

While we stayed awake in someone else’s place

Sing me back to sleep

So I can lose the keys

And stop to pretend that your life is going out of hand

You keep looking backwards when your mind is moving forward

You know it’s all gone for good and I won’t take it back,

Well ain’t this true

Love?
