Back To You

In the spirit of "Superstar" by legendary art-punk band Sonic Youth (who were covering The Carpenters chart-breaking track), here is 'Back to You'. Sonically similar, but content-wise very different. No superstar imagery from the perspective of a groupie here. Just some self-searching and hopefully grounding elements.

You’ve lost your drive
You’ve lost your view
Tonight

Don’t want to see
Out of mind and sight
But when the world freaks out
Don’t have to be there too
Think you’d be bolder
To turn a cold shoulder
Come back to you

When you close yourself
You lose your way
Open you eyes
The world seems brighter
Like a boat adrift
Or losing faith
Need a torch or faith
To guide you back to life

You’ve lost your drive
You’ve lost your view
Tonight

Don’t want to see
Out of mind and sight
But when the world freaks out
Don’t have to be there too
Think you’d be bolder
To turn a cold shoulder
Come back to you
