Go Back by Consider The Thief Lyrics
You can pull nails but a hole is made
And for every hole a haunt of memory
Where the voids left too small
Space to slip through my recall
Pieces pulled from my door
To forget the holes
And nails it once bore
Can we go back
To the way it was once
Can we completely mend
Or go back to once was
Before I met you
Before I met you
Before I met you
You can pull nails but a hole is made
A haunting of memory
Of my mother who always
Spoke to me in similes
Of my father's hand
And the nails it drove
Can we go back
To the way it was once
Can we completely mend
Or go back to once was
Can we go back
To the way it was once
I'd reclaim all those
Pieces from the door I held
Before
Before I met you
Before I met you
Before I met you
Before I met you
And for every hole a haunt of memory
Where the voids left too small
Space to slip through my recall
Pieces pulled from my door
To forget the holes
And nails it once bore
Can we go back
To the way it was once
Can we completely mend
Or go back to once was
Before I met you
Before I met you
Before I met you
You can pull nails but a hole is made
A haunting of memory
Of my mother who always
Spoke to me in similes
Of my father's hand
And the nails it drove
Can we go back
To the way it was once
Can we completely mend
Or go back to once was
Can we go back
To the way it was once
I'd reclaim all those
Pieces from the door I held
Before
Before I met you
Before I met you
Before I met you
Before I met you
