But I know you can't
And I know you wouldn't anyway
Wouldn't it be good if you could stay
But I know you can't
And I know you wouldn't anyway
Yes I know you have to go
So why won't you take me
With you
Whoa
I will wait as long as it
Will take me to get back to you
I will wait as long as it
Will take me to get back to you
Fly
To you
Wouldn't it be good if you could stay
But I know you can't
And I know you wouldn't anyway
Wouldn't it be good if you could stay
But I know you can't
And I know you wouldn't anyway
Oh I know you have to go
Yes I know you have to go
So why won't you take me
With you
Whoa
I will wait as long as it
Will take me to get back to you
I will wait as long as it
Will take me to get back to you
Fly
Oh fly
To you
Well I know you have to go
Yes I know you have to go
But why won't you take me
With you
Whoa
I will wait as long as it
Will take me to get back to you
I will wait as long as it
Will take me to get back to you
Fly
Oh fly
Oh fly
Oh fly
To you
To you
To you
To you
To you
To you
To you
To you
To you
Sun is out
The sky is blue
And all I do is dream of you
And all my baby's gone
I don't have much
No just a few
And all I do is dream of you
And all my baby's gone gone gone
And all my baby's gone
Sun don't shine
Sun don't shine
When your baby's gone away
Sun don't shine
Sun don't shine
When your baby's gone away
When your baby's gone away
Ay ay
The lyrics of Coconut Records' song "Back to You" is about the longing and yearning to be with someone who's leaving, and the willingness to wait as long as it takes to be reunited with them. The song's repetitive structure emphasizes the disappointment and acceptance of the situation, as the singer acknowledges that the person is leaving and wouldn't stay even if they could. The singer expresses a desire to accompany the person who is leaving but is resigned to the fact that they can't, so they'll wait as long as it takes to be with them again.
The song's chorus, "I will wait as long as it will take me to get back to you," expresses the singer's resolve to wait for their loved one, highlighting the depth of their feelings. The final verse seems to echo the melancholy feeling of the earlier lyrics, reflecting on the emptiness left behind when someone you love is gone. The lyrics create an emotional pull that captures the feeling of longing for a distant loved one.

This is Jason Schwartzman's band (Coconut Records). Check out his albums "Nightiming" and "Davy." Some of the best stuff out there.

I needed to hear this. I love the way he uses the faux "applause". kinda reminds me of paul mccartney a little. besides that part , which truthfully I can barely stand, the song as it starts is one of the coolest songs I've ever heard.
also. amazing strange cool 'ending' to a song...
