You Can't Go Back

(album: Annie - 1972)

Well, sometimes, to entertain myself
I take our story from my shelf
And I change the things that we both have seen
And I watch the way that it might have been

But you can't go back
You gotta stay right on the track
But take it since the end
I bet I get a surprise
Just around the next day
And when it ends
You gotta leave a little mystery
On the side of the road where you've been
So when you're back in town the next time
They won't mind, haven't you there again?

Well, sometimes, to pass the time of day
I think about the other way
And I think about the other sky
But never long enough to wonder why

Because you can't go back
You gotta stay right on the track
But take it since the end
I bet I get a surprise
Just around the next day
And when it ends
You gotta leave a little mystery
On the side of the road where you've been
So when you're back in town the next time
They won't mind, haven't you there again?
So when you're back in town the next time
They won't mind, haven't you there again?
