I never could let myself love you,
Because I never could love that place
Even if I let myself love you,
Would still have left in disgrace
Pull me back down, you're pulling me back down
I never could let myself love you
'Cause I never could love that place
I never could let myself love you
Would still have left in place
Pull me back down, you're pulling me back down
Could take it back, make this town my home
Feel that breathing all alone
Hit back, forcing all the people who have helped me build my throne
Move the past and take the rap
The buildings serve to entrap
Filtered lines and spinal taps
The silent slaps are gift-wrapped
Filaments snapping from violent clapping
We've asked or masked our faith in the past
We find it lacking despite all the tapping
And now the trap is laid bare
If I were the moon you were the earth pulling me back to shore
I left too soon 'cause you never knew what you were longing for
If I were to come back here to the screaming cars and city lights
You would see that this was never, never right.
Pull me back down, you're pulling me down
