If You Find Yourself Looking Back (2011 EP!)

IF YOU FIND YOURSELF LOOKING BACK
VERSE 1:  [bad word] the youth I had, for it was wasted on myself. 
My disillusioned passion was an impoverished sense of wealth. 
The painted rust I would become traded the sunrise for the sunset. 
Call it kitsch but, darlin’, this is all that I have left…
CHORUS: 
BABY, IF YOU FIND YOURSELF LOOKING BACK 
KNOW THERE AIN’T NOTHIN’ HERE TO KEEP YOU OFF TRACK. 
BABY, IF YOU FIND YOURSELF LOOKING BACK, 
I PRAY YOU CAN SEE THE GOOD BEYOND THE PATH I POISONED WITH THE VIRTUES THAT I LACK…
VERSE 2: 
In the end you start to feel the beginning at last; 
The sour sting to the throat as I drink down the past. 
And I shouldn’t waste your time with the musings of long gone, 
But I say this as a man who’s learned the burden of what he’s done wrong…
CHORUS: 
BABY, IF YOU FIND YOURSELF LOOKING BACK 
KNOW THERE AIN’T NOTHIN’ HERE TO KEEP YOU OFF TRACK. 
BABY, IF YOU FIND YOURSELF LOOKING BACK, 
I PRAY YOU CAN SEE THE GOOD BEYOND THE PATH I POISONED WITH THE VIRTUES THAT I LACK…
BRIDGE: 
Now you’re just a memory, a flash point in my mind. 
And I the ‘once burned’ lesson to you and your love in kind. 
I sent you away, but now like a dog I bay at the moon if only to put a whisper in your ear: 
The sands of time turn to diamonds as can a bitter-sweet memory from tears…
CHORUS: 
BABY, IF YOU FIND YOURSELF LOOKING BACK 
KNOW THERE AIN’T NOTHIN’ HERE TO KEEP YOU OFF TRACK. 
BABY, IF YOU FIND YOURSELF (3x) 
LOOKING BACK…
