Always Returning Songtext
von Glen Phillips

Here we go, falling out of ranks
You′re unafraid of consequence
I'm faking it as if you hadn′t guessed
Heave ho, throwing out the past
You will speak for optimism
I can be the realist

Slow down, hold on
Oh you don't know what's to come
You say, my love
I should let you go

But I′m watching you run
Breaking down walls
Making your waves
Bearing your cross
You′re turning away
But after it all
You're always returning
You′re always returning


I recall rides and kettle corn
The barkers in their boxes
Hawking games nobody's ever won
They′ll spit you out
Like water from a fountain
And pretty as it looks my friend
They'll use you ′til there's nothing left

You have my trust
You can move on if you must
You'll still have us
But it gets so hard just

Watching you run
Breaking down walls
Making your waves
Bearing your cross
You′re turning away
But after it all
You′re always returning
You're always returning

Every time you turn away
(I′ll bring you back)
Every time you turn away
(I'll pull you in)
Every time you turn away
(I know you)


You can move on if you must
Watching you run
Breaking down walls
Making your waves
Bearing your cross
I′m watching you run
Breaking down walls
Making your waves
Bearing your cross
You're turning away
But after it all
You′re always returning
You're always returning

Every time you turn away
You're always returning
(I′ll bring you back)
Every time you turn away
(I know you)
