VERSE 1:
Damn the youth I had, for it was wasted on myself.
My disillusioned passion was an impoverished sense of wealth.
The painted rust I would become traded the sunrise for the sunset.
Call it kitsch but, darlin’, this is all that I have left…

CHORUS:
BABY, IF YOU FIND YOURSELF LOOKING BACK
KNOW THERE AIN’T NOTHIN’ HERE TO KEEP YOU OFF TRACK.
BABY, IF YOU FIND YOURSELF LOOKING BACK,
I PRAY YOU CAN SEE THE GOOD BEYOND THE PATH I POISONED WITH THE VIRTUES THAT I LACK…

VERSE 2:
In the end you start to feel the beginning at last;
The sour sting to the throat as I drink down the past.
And I shouldn’t waste your time with the musings of long gone,
But I say this as a man who’s learned the burden of what he’s done wrong…

CHORUS:
BABY, IF YOU FIND YOURSELF LOOKING BACK
KNOW THERE AIN’T NOTHIN’ HERE TO KEEP YOU OFF TRACK.
BABY, IF YOU FIND YOURSELF LOOKING BACK,
I PRAY YOU CAN SEE THE GOOD BEYOND THE PATH I POISONED WITH THE VIRTUES THAT I LACK…

BRIDGE:
Now you’re just a memory, a flash point in my mind.
And I the ‘once burned’ lesson to you and your love in kind.
I sent you away, but now like a dog I bay at the moon if only to put a whisper in your ear:
The sands of time turn to diamonds as can a bitter-sweet memory from tears…

CHORUS:
BABY, IF YOU FIND YOURSELF LOOKING BACK
KNOW THERE AIN’T NOTHIN’ HERE TO KEEP YOU OFF TRACK.
BABY, IF YOU FIND YOURSELF (3x)
LOOKING BACK…
