The Bros Landreth “Can’t Go Back”
Music: Joey Landreth
Lyrics: Dan Herman, Kiva Simona, Tod Hughes, MindTheGap, GTEdwards
Can’t Go Back
Our roots so firmly anchored
Make memories that last
Where longings for the future
Meet echoes from the past
I left you like the paint
That peels from long neglected walls
It wasn’t out of malice
A heart bruises when it falls
If I could grab the clock
turn it back
bring healing out of pain
Oh you know I would
You know we can’t go back there again
When people go their separate ways
For better or for worse
A vow that seemed so clear
Now hangs there like a curse
It’s not for lack of trying
There’s no point in laying blame
We could start this chapter over
But the end is just the same
If I could grab the clock
turn it back
bring healing out of pain
Oh you know I could
But you know we can’t go back there again
I now assess the damage
Walking on soles worn clear through
If only to mark the passage
Of time spent I with you
Ours was a spiral downward
A leaf fallen from a tree
How could something so light
land so heavily
If I could grab the clock
turn it back
bring healing out of pain
You know I would
Oh you know we can’t go back there again
Oh you know I would
But you know we can’t go back there again
