We Go Way Back

Lyrics From Live Debut

[Verse 1]

Saw the world from up close

It ain't much to look at

Compared to you and your work clothes

Waving low from the driveway

Used to make myself whole

Most days, I'd be lucky just to get half

Been to places so low

You can recognise when it's real bad

When it's real bad

[Verse 2]

Used to hate the silence

It used to make me think about the old days

And all the miles in my legs

The late flights and missed birthdays

I hear, I can hear your heartbeat

I can hear the sound of a long sigh

I can hear the song of the robin

I haven't made my own in a long time

In a long time

[Chorus]

'Cause I don't need my name back

Throw my notebook in the basement

Oh, I love you

And I can't fake that for a moment

We go way back

We go way back

Tell me I don't need options

That I have substance

That I'm important

If it's only for letting the dogs out

Sweeping porches

Won't make me nothing

Take me way back

We go way back

[Verse 3]

Little pebble marks on your car door

The sound of your feet on the gravel

Said I'm always trying to run from what I'm known for

Baby, that's the thing about a sad oath

I've never seen the rain fall so hard

Honey, we're north of nowhere now

Heaven is a drink in the backyard

As we watch the storm touchdown

And it's pouring out

[Chorus]

And I don't need my name back

Throw my notebook in the basement

Oh, I love you

And I can't fake that for a moment

We go way back

We go way back

Tell me I don't need options

That I have substance

That I'm important

If it's only for letting the dogs out

Sweeping porches

Won't make me nothing

Take me way back

We go way back

Take me way, way back

[Outro]

'Cause I don't need my name back

Throw my notebook in the basement

Oh, I love you

And I can't fake that for a moment

We go way back

We go way back

Tell me I don't need options

That I have substance

That I'm important

If it's only for letting the dogs out

Sweeping porches

Won't make me nothing

Take me way back

We go way back
