lyrics

I went looking through my back pages
To see if there was something I might’ve missed
Was there something bad I did I can’t recall
Some girl I once knew that I never kissed
Was there a picture I took at the bottom of a drawer
That would bring back a memory I long forgot
Was there someone I hurt unintentionally
Was there a tangle I made I could unknot

And when I went back to that place and time
Nobody was home, no hide nor hair
Yeah I went back to that place and time
But there was nobody there

I went looking through my back pages
To see if I could read between the lines
Some stuff made me laugh and some stuff made me cry
All those arrows shot through those valentines
I looked askance with an eagle eye
At every clue that I could possibly decode
What I was thinking
It all seems nuts to me now
Now that I’m beaten down and bowed

Why don't you open up
I know you're in there
I can hear you rumbling
Why don't you open up
Before I break it down
And your whole wide world comes a-tumbling

I went looking through my back pages
To tie things up in tidy little bow
I put all my ducks together in a line
But they got sucked down by the undertow
When I look around at the mess of my life
I got no one but myself to fault
I can flail my arms around in the pissing rain
Rip open the wound and pour in the salt
