Back Door
Kris Demeanor Lyrics

What if you leave? What if I came? When it's all told, what if we both turn to the Lord?
What will happen if we both change directions? Is there any significance in it, except maybe for going to church later on?

What'll it prove? What'll it change, other than filling up Sunday?
What benefit would it have, beyond just becoming a committed churchgoer every Sunday?

What if we stopped singing in time? What if I fancied preaching? Come sweet sin, I was saved, I was saved by a woman!
What if our beliefs stopped aligning? What if I became a pastor instead? I've been saved from temptation by a woman before!

What'll you try? I'd better abstain; When'll we meet in the middle or not?
What approach will you take? I ought to avoid temptation. Are we ever going to compromise?

Who will we see? We better tiptoe, better be kind to the jealous
Who will we become involved with? We better move carefully and show consideration towards the envious.

What if we keep starting our days finishing sentences And how can I package up these best intentions for you?
What if we keep being so in-sync we complete each other's sentences? And how can I convey my genuine feelings for you?

Let's look back on what we've done until now I think it's such a shame When memories are trapped
Let's examine our past up until this point. It's tragic when our memories are confined.

I stand before you babe, rejoicing in it all No back door
I stand before you, my love, feeling joyous about it all. There's no other escape for me.

What'll we prove? What'll we seek? What'll we choose? What'll we both choose to ignore?
What will we actually demonstrate or explore? What will we leave unacknowledged?

What if we shut everything out, just do the rounds at Christmas? What if I know all that you want is a dog and a house on the island?
What if we stop engaging with everything else, and only go through the motions during the holidays? What if I'm the only one aware of your desires for a dog and some property near the ocean?

Why do you think I'm going to find myself a corporate sponsor
Why would you believe I'll sell out and locate a corporate sponsor for myself?

What if I died? What if you died? What if our plants and pets and friends and families died? Would it all stop, would we give chase, scattering joy and laughter? What if I said we'd better prepare making a record of out love, let's bring that camera on our next vacation!
What happens if we, our loved ones, and even the flora and fauna around us perish? Will our spirit still linger, bringing joy and laughter? What if I proposed that we create a permanent documentation of our love? Should we bring a camera with us to our next trip?

Let's look back...
Let's revisit our past together.
