Back To Us

Lord knows I had never thought

I'd find someone like me

I got pinch lines on my arm

She makes what's real feel make believe

She scaled the walls

I had formed

Got no need for anyone else here

Let's go where no one's been

Give the finger to the world

We'll run far til we meet death

Or we can walk

Just as long as you don't

Let your feelings rust

When your feet get tired

The only way we'll burn out

Is if you feed the fire

When you want

And when we're warm

So let's pack and drive

Find a town to live in

Where the folks don't mind

Things that ain't their business

We can get back,get back to us

We can take back, take back our love

And every day

We'll dance in the kitchen

Til our hair goes gray

And we just sit and listen

We can get back get back to us

We can take back take back our love

I hid away the parts of me

I loved but no one liked

Learned to dull my favorite colors

Was a shell of black and white

Oh, I was trying

To fit in line

She said "no need to water yourself down

I'll take you as you are

I never cowered from some bitterness

And damn sure won't start now

Drop the guise

You know you're mine"

Thought I'd never say the words

Now I'd scream them at heights

If you ask me if I love you

I'll say "does the sun rise"?

Oh what a rush

To feel your touch

So let's pack and drive

Find a town to live in

Where the folks don't mind

Things that ain't their business

We can get back get back to us

We can take back take back our love

And every day

We'll dance in the kitchen

Til our hair goes gray

We just sit and listen

We can get back get back to us

We can take back take back our love

There were so many nights

I had spent all alone

Thinking "this is where I'll always be"

But you gave me your hand

Said if I ever worry

That you'd lead me away from my grief

I was sleeping under stars

Where nothing good was written

But you cleaned the mess

I thought I'd always live in

We can get back get back to us

We can take back take back our love

And every day

We'll dance in the kitchen

Til our hair goes gray

And we just sit and listen

We can get back get back to us

We can take back take back our love
