Back to You
Canyon City Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I found your picture, sun-faded color
I found a feeling, lost over years but
I like the soft sting that comes with remembering
A season worth holding, while days disappear

Oh, can I wait here one more moment, be still

We hold on while floating away
Like the time slipping shadow, the sun on your face
But I hope that you know that the distance won't change
All the ways that I feel and that one day we'll make it through

And when I do darling, I'll find a way back to you

I shouldn't think much about what to think, such a moment to miss,
Just pull my heart strings with stories to pass down
Of memories of hope found in darkness and ghost towns,
Space in between homes,
Where we let these days go on by

We hold on while floating away
Like the time slipping shadow, the sun on your face
But I hope that you know that the distance won't change
All the ways that I feel and that one day we'll make it through

When I do darling, I'll find a way back to you,
Oh, back to you

Oh, we hold on while floating away
Like the time slipping shadow, the sun on your face
But I hope that you know that the distance won't change
All the ways that I feel and that one day we'll make it through

Oh, when I do darling,
when I do darling,
when I do darling,





I'll find a way back to you, back to you
