I get lost, and when I do, I run on back to you

Tell myself another truth, then fall back, what's the use?

But leaves don't ever know which way they'll fall

And I've been sitting, waiting for the call

I get lost, and when I do, I run on back to you

Play myself another tune, then fall back, what's the use?

But endings never tell you where to start

Or just how many times they fall apart

And I've been sitting, wondering where you are

It's a false start, almost had my chance

New heart, started making plans

Couldn't take the pain

Had to walk away

Back the way I came

False start, couldn't let it go

New heart, was the last to know

Couldn't take the pain

Had to walk away

Back the way I came

And endings never tell you where to start

Or just how many times they fall apart

And I've been sitting, wondering where you are

It's a false start, almost had my chance

New heart, started making plans

Couldn't take the pain

Had to walk away

Back the way I came

False start, couldn't let it go

New heart, was the last to know

Couldn't take the pain

Had to walk away

Back the way I came
