Back Pocket

music & lyrics by Sherman Tabor

I lost myself

In the maze you drew

I learned the rules

Thought if I changed for you

Thought if I was patient

And followed every clue

Then I might be

Enough for you

Now you’re holding my hand

Just to hold me back

Tell me everything’s changed

Like I’ve never heard that darling

You’re crashing in

Like a wave, only stay for a moment

I loved you, I loved you, I loved you;

You led me on

I don’t really want to know

If you miss me and you’re sad about it

Say you love me on the phone

Guess we’re both in your back pocket

I’ve gotten over this love

So many times it’s a bad habit

I’m begging, I’m begging, I’m begging you darling

Let me let you go

You tie a knot in every line

Pulling me back through space and time

That old familiar siren song

Is it fate or just an echo?

Now you’re holding my hand

Just to hold me back

Tell me everything’s changed

Like I’ve never heard that darling

You’re crashing in

Like a wave, only stay for a moment

I loved you, I loved you, I loved you;

You led me on

I don’t really want to know

If you miss me and you’re sad about it

Say you love me on the phone

Guess we’re both in your back pocket

I’ve gotten over this love

So many times it’s a bad habit

I’m begging, I’m begging, I’m begging you darling

Let me let you go
