Back to Nowhere Lyrics

Tick-tock of the clock
Make a wish, but the time won’t stop
I saw the glow of city lights
Never thought I’d say that they shine too bright

Could it be
That it’s me
Looking back to nowhere
Back to nowhere

I’m sick of standing in line
Waiting turns is a waste of my time
I’m tired of holding my tongue
With nothing said then nothing gets done

Chorus:
Could it be
That it’s me
Looking back to nowhere
Back to nowhere
Fine
Take your time
I will be here waiting
Be here waiting
Fine
I’ll be fine
I’ll just stand here waiting
Stand here waiting

One more for the road
Liquid hot to melt the cold
If I caught one last stare
Could I keep myself from looking
Back to nowhere

Chorus

Could it be
That it’s me
Looking back to nowhere
Back to nowhere

So just take your time
Just take your time
Take your time
Take your time
Fine take your time
I will be here waiting
Be here waiting
Fine
I’ll be fine
I’ll just stand here waiting
Stand here waiting

Could it be
That it’s me
Looking back to nowhere
Back to nowhere

Tick-tock of the clock
Make a wish, but the time won’t stop
I saw the glow of city lights
Never thought I’d say that they shine too bright

Could it be 
That it’s me
Looking back to nowhere
Back to nowhere

I’m sick of standing in line
Waiting turns is a waste of my time
I’m tired of holding my tongue
With nothing said then nothing gets done

Chorus:
Could it be 
That it’s me
Looking back to nowhere
Back to nowhere
Fine
Take your time
I will be here waiting
Be here waiting
Fine
I’ll be fine
I’ll just stand here waiting
Stand here waiting

One more for the road
Liquid hot to melt the cold
If I caught one last stare
Could I keep myself from looking
Back to nowhere

Chorus

Could it be 
That it’s me
Looking back to nowhere
Back to nowhere

So just take your time
Just take your time
Take your time
Take your time
Fine take your time
I will be here waiting
Be here waiting
Fine 
I’ll be fine
I’ll just stand here waiting
Stand here waiting

Could it be 
That it’s me
Looking back to nowhere
Back to nowhere

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

this song is beautiful. you can just hear the emotion in his voice. i especially love the break down "just take your time..."

it seems to be about someone who is holding on to a relationship in hopes that things will get better when there is nothing left to hold to.

I guess all songs are different to everyone... but to me, this song stands for something that never happened. A chance never taken. "With nothing said, then nothing gets done" ::sigh:: This song really does hit the spot. I'll be fine. I'll just stand here waiting.
