Back On The Line

Ooh, I followed you like you were hi-way lines Ooh, and I can't cross over but I ain't confined You led me down some unfamiliar road Got me high and put me in a spin And I've seen it all before, I watched you go But I don't remember where or when So I'm staying here instead And I won't let you in 'Cause I just can't put my heart back on the line Ooh, you kept me on a leash and pulled it tight Ooh, you bit my loving hand and it don't feel right Well now I'm sleeping through the night but even so I'm exhausted by uncertainty When suddenly I hear your voice, it's clear What a drag, we've got to disagree So I'm staying here instead And I won't let you in 'Cause I just can't put my heart back on the line And you'll find your peace of mind And maybe I'll find mine But I just can't put my heart back on the line And I miss you still but it's bad news It's a worn-out, beaten track And that late night talk's gonna get you And I know mine's at my back Ooh, yeah I've been looking back and I can tell Ooh, well I hardly knew you but it suits you well Well now it's covered up in dust, turned to ash, black as coal A faded memory And I know it's what you want, don't have to ask if you're alone It's not a mystery So I'm staying here instead And I won't let you in 'Cause I just can't put my heart back on the line And you'll find your peace of mind And maybe I'll find mine But I just can't put my heart back on the line
