Carly Simon - BACK THE WAY (GIRLS' POINT OF VIEW) lyrics

seven a.m.,

the garbage truck beeps as it backs up

and I start my day thinking about what I've thrown away.

Could I push rewind?

The credits traverse signifying the end but I missed the best part.

Could we please go back to start?

Forgive my indecision

Then again, you're always first when no one's on your side.

But then again, a day will come when I want off that ride.

eleven a.m.,

by now you would think that I would be up

but my bedsheets shade the heat of choices I've made.

And what did I find?

I never thought I could want someone so much

'cause now you're not here and I'm knee deep in

that old fear.

Forgive my indecision... I am only a man

Then again, you're always first when no one's on your side.

But then again, a day will come when I want off that ride.

Twelve pm and my dusty telephone rings.

Heavy head up from my pillow, who could it be?

I hope it's you.
