Story Behind The Song

This was written for my friend who was going through a tough break up. I saw him doing things that subtly sabotaged his happiness - mostly because in his heart he didn't believe he deserved happiness because of bad decisions he'd made in the past. This

Lyrics

Back to You


Time and time again
We end our stories before they begin
Stretch your arms out, rub your eyes, read the paper, drink your coffee down
Thoughts come creepin? in
hmmm??.

Pass the picture s on the wall
And every image has a 1000 tales to tell
You close your eyes and ride the train with all the memories that might?ve been
And wonder who?s at fault

But you?ve got to open your eyes and see that

Time keeps slipping through our hands
Your journey didn?t take the path you planned
I see you going in circles trying to tidy up your past
But it all comes back to
You

Today could be the day
When that old train just leaves you standing at the gate
A change of pace, a new direction, take a chance and finally act upon
All the things you contemplate

But you just stepped on the train again

Time keeps slipping through our hands
This journey didn?t take the path you planned
Now you keep going in circles trying to tidy up your past
But it all comes back to?.

You have to realize all the subtle ways you sabotage yourself
Ooh, stop believing the lies
That you deserve this hurt and sadness
All the anger and the madness
You can?t change the past
But tomorrow?s coming around

You know this time keeps on slipping through our hands
You know your journey didn?t take the path you planned
I see you going in circles trying to tidy up your past
But it all comes back to
You
