Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wrapped up in my head
Everything is blurry, quick fix instead
But really, what's the hurry?
My notebook and mind are bound with glue
Am I inside or out?
Is the precious mountain ten ways to route?
But really, who is counting when I'm broken all the way through?
[Chorus]
But this hope and the heartbreak and love and the wine
As I run in circles every single time
No matter the blindness, I know what I'll do
Right back to you
Always right back to you
Right back to you
Always right back to you
Right back to you
Back to you
[Verse 2]
A predicted surprise
Plants out on my sleeve a tinderbox
For this pair of thieves, light a match and watch the contacts burn
Defining insane
Going through the motions, same shit, same brain
Where's the magic potion?
Drinking me to see the lessons learned
[Chorus]
But I'm still hoping the heartbreak and love into wine
And I run in circles every single time
No matter the blindness, I know, mm-mmm
Right back to you
Always right back to you
Right back to you, love
Right back to you
Right back to you, baby
Ooh, you, baby
[Bridge]
I'll find it all again, yeah
Stories with memories from when we were friends
I'll find it a way again, again, again
Again, now
[Outro]
I love you, Mommy
Dear Mommy, you've always been strong
You've always been love
You've always been ours
I watched you truly come home
I saw it, the way your laugh started to sound like sunlight again
Your eyes held a little more sparkle
Like they remembered who you were
And I'm so proud
Me and Rue love you so much
And the world loves you so much
Thank you for coming back to music and back to you
