Kansas Back Door song lyrics

As I look out into the night

And count the stars all shining bright

I wonder where I am and where I'm going?

Sometimes I think I've lived before

I seem to see beyond a door

But it's just a crazy notion I leave showing

I live my life as sensitive as possible, then one day

Maybe I'll wake up young again with feelings of a new way

But what we feel I know we'll miss

And someday I'll look back at this

And know by then the life that we were meant for

But I see you leaving

Leaving by my back door

You want the world to give you some

You fight a war that's never won

And you come back scarred 'cause you've seen who's really dying

You reach a point where nothing lasts

You play the part that someone casts you into

Now their machines keep right on lying

I want the world to be a place where no one comes to suffer

Just give the pain an empty space away from one another

Let's seal our words within a kiss

'Cause someday we'll look back at this

We'll know by then the life that we were meant for

But are you leaving?

Leaving by my back door

I want the world to be a place where no one comes to suffer

Just give the pain an empty space away from one another

Let's seal our words within a kiss

'Cause someday we'll look back at this

We'll know by then the life that we were meant for

But are you leaving?

Leaving by my back door

Leaving by my back door

Hey! I see you leaving

Leaving by my back door

Hey! Hey! I see you leaving

leaving by my back door

Hey! Hey! Hey! I see you leaving
