Come on Back This Way (feat. Sharon Van Etten)

Lyrics

It's when we leave the bar
 That we're feeling the effects
 Under magnesium moon
 The streets are full of piss
 And the pigs walk by on stilts
 And the cabs all lock their doors
 If tomorrow never comes
 I wouldn't care at all
 Then she tells me I don't need her
 That she's going home alone
 But we don't live in this city
 And the next train's not till dawn
 I tell her it's not true
 You see we've played this game before
 I love her, I need her
 I couldn't love her more
 I say, come on back this way
 Come on back this way
 Come on back this way
 I call across the street
 She doesn't turn around
 One hundred other people do
 All thinking they've been found
 And when I catch her up
 You know, I grab her by the arm
 But she's screaming let me go
 I'm going back to the farm
 No!
 Come on back this way
 Come on back this way
 Come on back this way
 Come on back this way
 Come on back this way
 Come on back this way
 She pulls a glass from her coat
 That she's borrowed from the bar
 And she throws it at the wall
 And her leg's cut by a shard
 Now she's trying to walk away
 But she's bleeding pretty bad
 So she backs against the wall
 And pulls the lipstick from her bag
 And I say
 Come on back this way
 Come on back this way
 Come on back this way
 Come on back this way
 Come on back this way
 Come on back this way
 She says there's a million girls out there
 They're all prettier than me
 With all your so called charm
 Why the hell did you pick me?
 And she's running down the reservoir
 I'm trailing behind
 And she leads me through the backstreets
 To the dark parts of her mind
 And it's here among the shadows
 That her dreams are lost and found
 Now she's heading for the station
 To get the next train out of town
 I say
 Come on back this way
 Come on back this way
 Come on back this way
 Come on back this way
 Come on back this way
 Come on back this way
 We're laying in the grass
 In a park when we wake
 Looking like the candles
 Thrown off a wedding cake
 And the flowers that she picked
 Lay broken beside us
 The all and nothing of our love
 Is purring deep inside us
 I say
 Come on back this way
 Come on back this way
 Come on back this way
 Come on back this way
 Come on back this way
 Come on back this way
