back to my life

the audience cheered

they sang along

people told me that they really loved my song

the evening went right

and now I go back to my life

​

I charmed everyone

they thought I was cute

they liked me from my hat down to my jimmy choos

I was an item tonight

and now I go back to my life

​

messages I'd rather ignore

bills beyond what I can afford

clothes thrown all over the floor

at least they cover the nails poking up from the boards

​

I met a boomer named bruce

I flirted just because

he said I looked italian so I let him think I was

now he goes back to his wife

and I go back to my life

​

where I'm chasing down my boss to get paid

and trying to find some time for a date

I have got no time to get laid

I might do a one night stand if I wasn't so afraid

​

people ask what I do

I tell them I sing

they tell me it's amazing that I get to live my dream

and I do for a night

but then I go back to my life

​

oh, my mess of a

stress of a

mixed up blessing of a life

​

oh, back to my life​​​

make you proud

maybe you won't understand what I do

and maybe that's fine

maybe pretty flowers only bloom

on their own time

​

you've been watching my journey

for so many seasons now

I don't know how I'll do it,

but I'm gonna make you proud

​

I can see that from your point of view

I've lost my way

but when we see the dark side of the moon

we still see the day

​

you're impatiently waiting 

for a tree to shoot up from the ground

one day I'll say that I grew it

cause I'm gonna make you proud​​

​

I'm not regretting and I'm not dwelling on the past

no conditions, just intuition, I'm trusting that

​

even though you may not see the signs,

roots start underground

and I may still be searching for mine

but what's lost can be found

​

so don't worry, you know me

I'd rather be down than be out

you've given me strength to use it

so I'm gonna make you proud

​​​​

yeah I'm gonna make you proud

body of gold

it's a new season, let go of the past

no more strip teasing, I'm free at last

oh I love pleasing, you're pleasing me back

feeling weak at the knees, I won't leave it at that

got my fate sealed with your powerful mind

cause you're making me feel that look in your eyes

like a well-played deal, you get better with time

but I'd rather have you than a bottle of wine

​

she's in a body of gold

and she's ready to go

she's in a body of gold

and she's ready to go

​

in this new season, I'm making it last

keep that record repeating, I need it till it scratches

a chord change is a shadow cast

but mystery hits on the phonograph

​

she's in a body of gold

and she's ready to go

she's in a body of gold

and she's ready to go

​

gonna take you into my arms tonight

and take you on a long flight

gonna take you into my arms tonight

we're not gonna land 'till you're feeling right​

talk to me

you don’t want me to fill in the gaps
cause you don’t think my instinct will grasp

where you’re at

but what am I supposed to do
when I get nothing, nothing from you?

you said in 15 minutes you would give me a call,
45 later I’ve heard nothing at all
can’t you just tell me what’s going on?
cause i’ve gotta know what’s going on

​

talk to me
talk to me
talk to me
i’ll listen close if you talk to me, talk to me

​

i wanna believe that you are good
that you’re gonna treat me sweetly

like you know you should

but how am I supposed to feel
when you give silence, silence when it’s time to get real?

oh, 10pm was the time you said,
11pm and the line’s still dead
come and get me out of my head,
i need you to get me out of my head

​

talk to me
talk to me
talk to me
i’ll listen close if you talk to me

​

wish that you could talk to me,

it’s too hard when you’re a mystery

oh, wish that you could talk to me,

just talk to me
wish that you could talk to me,

it’s too hard when you’re a mystery

oh, wish that you could talk to me

just talk to me

talk to me

feels like you don’t hear a word i say,

feels like it’s the same thing every day
