Back in Time

When we were done You always said you’d soldier on You moved out to the coast to see the sun And spend more time making art But decades pass You settle down and settle fast Quit the pot and paint the kettle black You start to twitch when you laugh You’re not laughing lately Oh baby you’re doing fine Why do you wanna go back in time? Oh baby it’s not so dire Why do you wanna go back in time? Your “first times” Keep turning into “never tried”s You’re dancing at the last chance disco night And you keep making it shine They raise the lights Hurts your soul and burns your eyes You could catch the next bus off this ride The last American dive With a jukebox playing Oh baby you’re doing fine Why do you wanna go back in time? Oh baby it’s not so dire Why do you wanna go back in time? You’re living like a psychopath You make a move, you take it back When you’re alone do you atone For all your dirty messages So go back to the underground Hide your head, don’t make a sound You stay with him, but now and then You’re thinking back on me again Oh baby you’re doing fine Why do you wanna go back in time? Oh baby it’s not so dire Why do you wanna go back in time?
