Lyrics

Back to You
Words and Music by Matt Nightingale

© 1998 A Little Nightingale Music (ASCAP)

I have been to Arizona, and I’ve seen the painted deserts
I have been to California, and I’ve played in the Pacific
I have been to Minnesota, felt the icy breath of winter
But I can’t find my way back to you

Back to you, back to you
I can’t find my way back to you

Well, I never thought that anything could ever come between us
I had promised you I’d always be a man you could believe in
Guess I never even realized how selfish I could be
And I can’t find my way back to you

I knew I took a gamble when I showed you my heart
But I knew you’d never know me until you’d seen it all
And I wanted you to love me, not some character I played
And I know it hurt so bad, but I wouldn’t have it any other way

I’ve been down a thousand highways, I have sailed a thousand seas
I have spent a thousand lifetimes in motel rooms on my knees
Now and then I think I feel you on the road beyond my view
I am almost home; I’m coming back to you
