Dawes Coming Back to a Man song lyrics

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

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 came here to speak to me

And I will listen in ways I never did before

I'll hear the pause between each word

And when your presentations heard

Then I'll need to show you to the door

'Cause some people were just meant to be a memory

To be called upon to remind us how we've changed

The way the scattered ever-busy bright lights of a city

Might look off to a distant mountain range

And the guy you know is someone 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

I might think of you more often then 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
