Back to One Lyrics
I wanted some time
Maybe just this once
I'm not the nice guy
That everyone said I was
To see what it's like
To be someone else
For a little while
I wouldn't be confined
To be another one
Standing in the limelight
Of a failing summer love
Thought I had it my way
But I fell all the same
Just to find
Lights go out
When you think you know
That you figured it out
All on your own
Lights go out
And I'm back to one
You, to my surprise
Lifted me off the ground
And you hit the bullseye
'Cause my head is in the clouds
This was not in the plan
Thought I had time to be a man
But I find
Lights go out
When you think you know
And you figured it out
All on your own
Lights go out
And I'm back to one
Everything I hold
I could lose control
As the lights go cold
As the lights go
I wanted some time
Maybe just this once
I'm not the nice guy
That everyone saw
But you didn't need
Any light to see right through
My lie, and I find
Lights go out
When you think you know
That you figured it out
All on your own
Lights go out
When you think you know
Lights go out
And I'm back to one
Maybe just this once
I'm not the nice guy
That everyone said I was
To be someone else
For a little while
To be another one
Standing in the limelight
Of a failing summer love
But I fell all the same
Just to find
When you think you know
That you figured it out
All on your own
Lights go out
Lifted me off the ground
And you hit the bullseye
'Cause my head is in the clouds
Thought I had time to be a man
But I find
When you think you know
And you figured it out
All on your own
And I'm back to one
I could lose control
As the lights go cold
As the lights go
Maybe just this once
I'm not the nice guy
That everyone saw
Any light to see right through
My lie, and I find
When you think you know
That you figured it out
All on your own
Lights go out
When you think you know
Lights go out
