Gotta Get Back
from Youth Is A Notion by SPOOKY FOLK
lyrics
A stone is slowly sinking down to the bottom
I've gotta get back
Gotta take it back to before
The current's taking over now
Carving,
Making a path
Leading us back to before
The ocean's always waiting to swallow
All of our breath
Just the way we had it before
Just like before
Everything goes from blue to grey
Nothing will turn out just okay
You cannot see your future now
This is more than you can allow
The water's all around you
Washing you back ashore
The sun is drying me out and I'm burning
I've gotta get back
I've gotta take it back to before
I pick myself up off the ground and now
I'm headed to a place where
I'll never come back
Everything is tattered and torn
A grain of sand is drifting out
With the tidal waves that come crash
Taking it all back to the shore
Just like before
Everything goes from blue to grey
Nothing will turn out just okay
You cannot see your future now
This is more than you can allow
The water's all around you
Washing you back ashore
I've gotta get back
Gotta take it back to before
The current's taking over now
Carving,
Making a path
Leading us back to before
The ocean's always waiting to swallow
All of our breath
Just the way we had it before
Just like before
Everything goes from blue to grey
Nothing will turn out just okay
You cannot see your future now
This is more than you can allow
The water's all around you
Washing you back ashore
The sun is drying me out and I'm burning
I've gotta get back
I've gotta take it back to before
I pick myself up off the ground and now
I'm headed to a place where
I'll never come back
Everything is tattered and torn
A grain of sand is drifting out
With the tidal waves that come crash
Taking it all back to the shore
Just like before
Everything goes from blue to grey
Nothing will turn out just okay
You cannot see your future now
This is more than you can allow
The water's all around you
Washing you back ashore
