Back This Way

[Verse 1]
In the winter
The cold against my face
It brings remembrance
Of the man that lost his faith

[Pre-Chorus]
He said Son, I know you’re lookin’ for a better way, boy
I know if time can heal hurt and shame, boy
I know that you will save the day

[Verse 2]
The road less traveled
Is the one that you have chose
Lookin’ in the embers
Of the past as it unfolds

[Pre-Chorus]
He said Son, I know, there’s life beyond the silver chord boy
I know, you fight to walk the straight and narrow
and I know that you will save the day

[Chorus]
But, when you gonna get back this way again? (again)
Oh, the tides of life are shiftin’, I feel so lost within
Oh, when you gonna get back this way again? (again)
Remember, I’ll always love you, the memories never end
When you gonna get back?

[Bridge]
The silver wire is stretching thin
Where the ending meets the “could have been”
Building towers out of shifting sand
While the hourglass is breaking in your hand
Is the distance what you fear the most

[Chorus]
But, when you gonna get back this way again? (again)
Oh, the tides of life are shiftin’, I feel so lost within
Oh, when you gonna get back this way again? (again)
Remember, I’ll always love you, the memories never end

[Chorus]
When you gonna get back this way again? (again)
Oh, the tides of life are shiftin’, I feel so lost within
Oh, when you gonna get back this way again? (again)
Remember, I’ll always love you, the memories never end—

When you gonna get back?
