Back To Scratch Songtext / Lyric

Down on my luck once more, out on a limb

Over things I thought I knew for sure and you

Yeah you were fundamentally too flawed to give

what you received and you believed

that I was yours to keep



And I tell myself "hold on, slow down,

girl is this me going back to scratch, again

And oh you'll know it in the dead of night

you're back to scratch, right back to scratch"



Here in the heading days, love on a whim

It's only a thing I'm sure, his daunting gaze will fade

Then I am left on my lonesome & I'm not as young as I'd like

My heart is slipping thru my fingers

Though the hope of love still lingers

I just pray that he will find me now, today






and wait a minute, "hold on, slow down,

girl is this me going back to scratch, again



and oh you'll know it in the dead of night

you're back to scratch"



Now he's gone, I guess I'll carry on

There's nothing else that I can do

Suns will rise and set and rains will fall

But when they fall on me, they won't on you



I can't hold on to this love

I'm going back to scratch, again

and here I'm laying in this lonely night

I'm back to scratch, again, again, again, again



And I can't hold on to this love,

I'm going back to scratch, again

and here I'm laying in this lonely night

I'm back to scratch, right back to scratch
