Coming Back to a Man (Live From An Evening With Dawes)

You still wear your hair to your shoulder
You still look like a Friday night
You're still caught somewhere between the plans and the dreams
So that neither end up turning out right

And I myself look a few moments older
When I learned that love is not as simple as I thought
And it starts to feel more real and the wounds all start to heal
Whether I want them to or not

So tell me why you think I should forgive what you did
And I'll tell you if I understand
'Cause you broke the quick-giving heart of a kid
But you're now coming back to a man

It means a lot that you would come here to speak to me
And I'm gonna listen the way I never did before
I will catch that pause between each word
I want your presentations heard
Well, then I'ma need to show you to the door

Because some people were just meant to be a memory
To be called upon to remind us how we've changed
The way the scattered and the busy bright lights of the city
Might look off at a distant mountain range

And the guy you know is someone that I work hard at keeping hid
And he is very good at sticking to the plan
'Cause you broke the quick-giving heart of a kid
But you're now coming back to a man, alright

I might think of you more often than I'm willing to admit
But I can't show every card I'm holding in my hand
'Cause you broke the quick-giving heart of a kid
But you're now coming back to a man

You still wear your hair to your shoulder
You still look like a Friday night
You're still caught somewhere between the plans and the dreams
So that neither end up turning out right
