When I Go Back Out
When I go back out into the city
Don't leave me breadcrumbs, I'll take them all with me
Don't leave me roses, 'cause they'll be too pretty
When I go back out into the city
When I go back out, if it goes poorly
I want you to know that I'll miss you sorely
There's no intention, there's just the story
And if it suits you, you tell it for me
I've got a black coat, it hangs in the closet
It's got cigarette stains and holes in the pockets
It hasn't come out since I flew the white flag
But my hanger hangs empty tonight
When I go back out, the back roads of Cleveland
Drive a few blocks as I'm thinking 'bout leaving
End up out front with a smile and a reason
Under the spell of what I've been believing
When I go back out, it's not about losing
I have not chosen the path I am using
There ain't no end if I just keep moving
I've had no say over what I've been doing
I've got a black coat, it hangs in my closet
It's got cigarette stains and holes in the pockets
It hasn't come out since I threw the white flag
But my hanger hangs empty tonight
Oh well I won't be empty tonight, oh no
Don't leave me breadcrumbs, I'll take them all with me
Don't leave me roses, 'cause they'll be too pretty
When I go back out into the city
When I go back out, if it goes poorly
I want you to know that I'll miss you sorely
There's no intention, there's just the story
And if it suits you, you tell it for me
I've got a black coat, it hangs in the closet
It's got cigarette stains and holes in the pockets
It hasn't come out since I flew the white flag
But my hanger hangs empty tonight
When I go back out, the back roads of Cleveland
Drive a few blocks as I'm thinking 'bout leaving
End up out front with a smile and a reason
Under the spell of what I've been believing
When I go back out, it's not about losing
I have not chosen the path I am using
There ain't no end if I just keep moving
I've had no say over what I've been doing
I've got a black coat, it hangs in my closet
It's got cigarette stains and holes in the pockets
It hasn't come out since I threw the white flag
But my hanger hangs empty tonight
Oh well I won't be empty tonight, oh no
