Lyrics

You’re Back

You ask me how I’m feeling
As if I had a choice
You call to test the waters
And I’m drowning in your voice
This pretty little picture
Is just about to crack

You’re back, you’re back
Can’t believe it’s true
You’re back, you’re back
Somehow you knew
I was almost over you

You ask if you can see me
We both know where that leads
You leave me with your number
I can reach you if I please
I hear the train a-comin’
But I’m tied down to the track

You’re back, you’re back
Can’t believe it’s true
You’re back, you’re back
And it’s just like you
To forget that we were through

And I’m trying to keep from picking up the phone
I’m trying to leave well enough alone
I’m trying, trying as hard as I can
To stop a raging river with my bare hands

I see you at a party
You walk right over then
And smile like nothing happened
As if we still were friends
I’m not much good at poker
Not when the deck is stacked

Chorus
