Back to You
Canyon City Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
