Marshall Crenshaw - There And Back Again lyrics

(Marshall Crenshaw - Glen Burtnik)

There and back again

Didn't know what I was walkin' into

But when the feeling hit, to follow it,

was all that I could do

Now that I've thought it through

Here alone at the journey's end

I'd gladly go again, take it from one who's been

There and back again

She was wild and I was restless

And our love was true

We were young and time was endless

Everything was new

Driving fast and running breathless

(It) blew my heart away

When I first saw her face

On that long, long gone day

There and back again

Goin' where we didn't dare before

Too much wasn't enough of each other's love

Oh that's for sure

I was just waitin' around

Killing time with all my dead beat friends

That's what I did back then

That was before I'd been

There and back again

She said we should find a highway

Any one would do

And we did not, say goodbye to

Anyone we knew

Hotels and auto graveyards

Under the bright blue sky

On the move, all the time

The midday sun

Made us high

There and back again

Goin' where we didn't dare before

Too much wasn't enough of each other's love

Yeah that's for sure

I was just waitin' around

Killing time with all my dead beat friends

That's what I did back then

That was before I'd been

There and back again

It lasted 'till it ended

That's how it goes

Sometimes things are just over

Everybody knows

Time has made us into strangers

She's lost to me now

But now and then when lights are low

She comes to mind, and I go

There and back again

Didn't know what I was walkin' into

But when the feeling hit, to follow it,

was all that I could do

Now that I've thought it through

Here alone at the journey's end

I'd gladly go again, take it from one who's been

There and back again

There and back again...
