Back to youIt always comes around, back to youI tried to forget you, I tried to stay awayBut it's too late
Over youI'm never over, over youSomething about youIt's just the way you moveThe way you move me
Yeahhh I'm so good at forgettingAnd I quit every game I playBut forgive me, loveI can't turn and walk away
Back to youIt always comes around, back to youI walk with your shadowI'm sleeping in my bedWith your silhouette
Yeahhh, should have smiled in that pictureIf it's the last that I'll see of youIt's the least that youCould not do
Leave the light onI'll never give up on youLeave the light onFor me too, for me tooFor me too
Back to meI know that it comes back to meDoesn't it scare youYour will is not as strongAs it used to be

My stupid mouth has got me in troubleI said too much againTo a date over dinner yesterdayAnd I could see she was offendedShe said well anyway..just dying for a subject change.
Oh, another social casualtyScore one more for meHow could I forget?Mama said think before speakingNo filter in my headOh, what's a boy to do?I guess he better find one soon
We bit our lipsShe looked out the windowRolling tiny balls of napkin paperI played a quick game of chesswith the salt and pepper shakerAnd I could see clearlyAn indelible line was drawnBetween what was good,what just slipped out,and what went wrong
Oh, the way she feels about me has changedThanks for playing, try againHow could I forget?Mama said think before speakingNo filter in my headOh, what's a boy to do?I guess he better find one
I'm never speaking up againIt only hurts meI'd rather be a mystery than she desert meOh I'm never speaking up againStarting now Starting now
One more thingWhy is it my fault?So maybe I try too hardBut it's all because of this desireI just wanna be liked, just wanna be funnyLooks like the joke's on meSo call me Captain Backfire
I'm never speaking up againIt only hurts meI'd rather be a mystery than she desert meOh I'm never speaking up againI'm never speaking up againI'm never speaking up againStarting now Starting now

Don't know why Tori came byBut I could see by the look in her eyesTory'd been driving 'round the town for a whilePlaying with the thought of leaving
Don't know why, but Tori just smiledAnd mentioned something about how you were rightMust have been hard to see through the tears she was hiding
She said "I might not be seeing him soon""I've got a few things I've been waiting to do"
Hey, Tori came byTori came by tonightHey, Tori came byShe says to say goodbye
Looked outside at the car in the driveAnd the suitcase on the back seat insideSure it's so she can't look out behind at the road
She said "I might not be seeing him soon""I've got a few things I've been waiting to do"
Hey, Tori came byTori came by tonightHey, Tori came byShe says to say goodbye
Don't look down, she seemed alrightYou might be asking where is Tori tonight?Somewhere out on the highway I'm sure she's fine

When sky blue gets dark enoughTo see the colors of the city lightsA trail of ruby red and diamond whiteHits her like a sunrise
She comes and goes and comes and goesLike no one can
Tonight she's out to lose herselfAnd find a high on Peachtree StreetFrom mixed drinks to techno beats it's alwaysHeavy into everything
She comes and goes and comes and goesLike no one canShe comes and goes and no one knowsShe's slipping through my hands
She's always buzzing just likeNeon, neonNeon, neonWho knows how long, how long, how longShe can go before she burns away, away
I can't be her angel nowYou know it's not my place to hold her downAnd it's hard for me to take a standWhen I would take her anyway I can
She comes and she goes Like no one canShe comes and she goes She's slipping through my handsShe's always buzzing just like
Neon, neonNeon, neonBut who knows how long, how long, how longShe can go before she burns away
She comes and she goes Like no one canShe comes and she goes She's slipping through my handsShe's always buzzing just like
Neon, neonNeon, neonBut who knows how long, how long, how longShe can go before she burns away

I just remembered that time at the marketSnuck up behind me and jumped on my shopping cartAnd rolled down aisle fiveYou looked behind you to smile back at meCrashed into a rack full of magazinesThey asked us if we could leave
Can't remember what went wrong last SeptemberThough I'm sure you'd remind me if you had to
Our love was comfortable and so broken in
I sleep with this new girl I'm still getting used toMy friends all approve, say "she's gonna be good for you"They throw me high fivesShe says the Bible is all that she readsAnd prefers that I not use profanityYour mouth was so dirty
Life of the party and she swears that she's artsyBut you could distinguish Miles from Coltrane
Our love was comfortable and so broken inShe's perfectSo flawlessOr so they say, heysay, hey
She thinks I can't see the smile that she's fakingAnd poses for pictures that aren't being takenI loved youGrey sweatpantsNo makeupSo perfect
Our love was comfortable and so broken inShe's perfectSo flawlessI'm not impressedI want you back

midnightlock all the doorsand turn out the lightsfeels like the end of the worldthis Sunday night
there's not a soundoutside the snow's coming downand somehow I can't seem to findthe quiet inside my mind
3:02the space in this roomhas turned on meand all my fears have cornered me hereme and my TV screen
the volume's downblue lights are dancing aroundand still, I can't seem to findthe quiet inside my mind
daylight is climbing the wallscars start and feet walk the hallsthe world awakes and now I am safeat least by the light of day
