Lyrics Come on Back This Way - Sharon Van Etten , Jack Ladder & The Dreamlanders

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
But she doesn't turn around
A 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
