Can’t Go Back Now Lyrics – The Weepies
Yesterday when you were young
Everything you needed done was done for you
Now you do it on your own
But you find you’re all alone, what can you do?
Yesterday when you were young
Everything you needed done was done for you
Now you do it on your own
But you find you’re all alone, what can you do?
a thousand times i’ve seen you standing
gravity like a lunar landing
make me want to run till i find you
shut the world away from here, drift to you, you’re all i hear
everything we know fades to black
To the desperate eyes and reaching hands
To the suffering and the lean
To the ones the world has cast aside
Where you want me I will be
[Intro/Chorus: repeat 2X]
I come through in somethin real foolish
And they like, boy you a fool with it
And he like, boy you a fool with it
And she like, boy you a fool with it
Keep changing your mind.
Like clouds in the sky.
Love me when your high.
Leave me when you cry.
I know it all takes time.
Like a river running dry when the suns to bright.
When you were here before
Couldn’t look you in the eye
You’re just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You’re so fucking special
Beauty over wisdom to fit in with this time
Your Cinderella stories, full of price
Vanities of business built to please the unique
Silicon and stars collide; the rest will fall at night
Ohh, yeahhh
Really wish I could
[Verse]
If only someone could unbreak my heart
Calm away my pain
Somehow I could wish upon a star
And make all of the memories go away
But, my mind just keeps goin’ back
And I cant help but think about that guy
That’s gonna make me miss out on you
And I can’t help but remember bout that
Sad day in September, that day he
Took my heart with him hen he left, ohhhh
[Verse 1]
I never felt nothing in the world like this before
Now I’m missing you
And I’m wishing you would come back through my door
Oooooo
Why did you have to go? You could have let me know
So now I’m all alone,
Girl you could have stayed
But you wouldn’t give me a chance
With you not around it’s a little bit more than I can stand
Oooooo
And all my tears they keep running down my face
Why did you turn away?
You’ve been caught in a lie!!
You can’t deny it!
So let the war begin
You’re far from innocent
(more…)
State the obvious,
I didn’t get my perfect fantasy
I realized you love yourself
More that you could ever love me
So go and tell your friends
That I’m obsessive and crazy,
That’s fine
I’ll tell mine
You’re gay,
And by the way,
’Yung Joc’ ’Yeah’ ’I don’t think they’re ready for this one’
[Yung Joc]
Cherish, they make me wanna lose control
Yeah, shawty, owwwww!
In a wifebeater two-seater cruise control
Pull up and your girl might lose control
Dime play a circle with that duffle bag boy
Guaranteed they can’t get enough of that boy
Incompatible, it don’t matter though
’cos someone’s bound to hear my cry
Speak out if you do
You’re not easy to find
Desperate for changing,
Starving for truth,
I’m closer to where I started,
I’m chasing after you
I’m falling even more in love with you,
Letting go of all I’ve held onto
I’m standing here until you make me move
I’m hanging by a moment here with you
Reborn and shivering
Spat out on new terrain
Unsure, unconvincing
This faint and shaky hour
