"Come On Back This Way" lyrics - SHARON VAN ETTEN
So when we leave the bar
They were feeling the effects
And the magnesian moon
The streets are full of piss
And the pigs walked by on stilts
And the cabs all locked their doors
Of tomorrow never comes
I wouldn't care at all
And she tells me I don't need her
That she's going home alone
That we don't live in the city
And the next train is not the dawn
I tell her it's the true you see
We've played this game before
I love her and need her
I couldn't love her more
I say
Come on back this way
Come on back this way
Come on back this way
I call across the street
But she doesn't turn around
But a hundred other people do
Are thinking they've been found
But when I catch her up
You know, I grab her by the arm
But she's screamin' let me go
I'm going back to the farm
No!
Come on back this way
Come on back this way
Come on back this way
Come on back this way
Come on back this way
Oh, come on back this way
She pulls a glass from her coat
That she's borrowed from the bar
And she throws it at the wall
And her legs cut by a shard
She's tried to walk away
But she's bleeding pretty bad
So she backs against the wall
And pulls the lipstick from her back
And I say
Come on back this way
Come on back this way
Come on back this way
Come on back this way
Come on back this way
Come on back this way
She says there's a million girls out there
That are prettier than me
And with all your so called charm
Why the hell did you pick me?
And she's running down the reservoir
While I'm trailing behind
But she leads me through the backstreets
To the dark parts of her mind
And it's here among the shadows
Where the dreams are lost and found
And she's heading through the station
To get the next train out of town
But I say
Come on back this way
Come on back this way
Come on back this way
Come on back this way
Come on back this way
Come on back this way
We're laying in the grass
In the park when we wake
Looking like the candles
Through another wedding cake
And the flowers that she picked
They've broken the status
The all and nothin' of our love
Is burying deep inside us
I say
Come on back this way
Come on back this way
Come on back this way
Come on back this way
Come on back this way
Oh, come on back this way
