I'm not fishing for an answer
Just untie the knots you knead
Does it always take a stranger
To snatch you out from the deep?
So helpless in the half-light
When you're not a man of faith
Wish you'd wrote it all on water
Watch it all go to waste
So help me understand why
Why you wanna go back
Still running to your past life
When there's nothing left
And when you hear the silence ring through your bones
His shadow's waiting to give up the ghost
So help me understand why
Why you wanna go back
Oh, how many times did you let the devil through your door?
(Just no way around it)
Oh, don't wanna test the consequence of letting go
(Just no way around it)
So helpless in the half-light
When you're not a man of faith
Oh, wish you wrote it all on water
Watch it all go to waste
So help me understand why
Why you wanna go back
(Just no way around it)
Still running to your past life
When there's nothing left
(Just no way around it)
And when you hear the silence ring through your bones
His shadow's waiting to give up the ghost
So help me understand why
Why you wanna go back
Oh, don't you think it's for the best
That we don't always get what we want?
Oh, how easy we forget
That we could have had it all
So help me understand why
Why you wanna go back
Still running to your past life
When there's nothing left
So help me understand why
Why you wanna go back
(There's just no way around it, oh)
Still running to your past life (still running to your past)
When there's nothing left (still running to your past)
(Just no way around it)
And when you hear the silence ring through your bones (when you hear the silence)
His shadow's waiting to give up the ghost (give up the ghost)
So help me understand why
Why you wanna go back
(There's just no way around it)
