Lost-centric original lyric

Admittedly these are sappy enough to be the lyrics of a Jimmy Wayne song, but in honor (or to the detriment) of the final Lost tonight, here's a lyric I wrote a few years ago based on this scene. Yes, I'm a dork. Read my other post today if you want actual (?) humor - this is only unintentional humor. A Bucky Covington Top 10 tomorrow... and Alt-Country Day 4 later in the week! Ta ta, I'm off to geek out!

Go Back There

Old habits die hard, I guess

Why'd you call me? is all she said

Over the roar of jets above their old meetin' place

She told him that he looked like hell

If she'd missed him, he couldn't tell

Who knew how she felt, all the makeup on her face

He'd been chasing the lowest highs

Every weekend takin' flights

Everything he could try, praying to be lost again

Maybe where they'd come back from

Was no damn good for either one

But here now in the long run, he longed for where they'd been

(He said)

I wanna go back there

We weren't supposed to leave

I'm tired of lying

Living is dying

I wanna go back there

Want you to go back there with me

She said He'll wonder where I am

He said this wasn't in the plans

Stood there a trembling man, cryin' I'll find a way

Then before she turned to leave

He could read the uncertainty

There in her eyes, as she said "This ain't gonna change"

(He said)

We have to go back there

We weren't supposed to leave

I'm tired of lying

Living is dying

I wanna go back there

Want you to go back there with me

Bridge

Her taillights lit his eyes

But he knew this goodbye

Wasn't for good

She understood

We have to go back there

We weren't supposed to leave

I'm tired of lying

Living is dying

I wanna go back there

Want you to go back there with me
