Lyrics - I Can't Go Back

I Can't Go Back
(from 1987's Bring Back the Night)

Three O’clock in the morning
And I can’t get a bit of sleep
My conscience warning
That I have promises to keep

You keep recalling
Just how good all this used to be
Still I keep stalling
Something’s happening to me

It is so easy
For me to get myself sidetracked
And I can’t go back
I can’t go back
No I can’t go back

Your invitation*
As you pull up so close to me
But my situation
Is nothing like it used to be

My vision’s clearer
With each step that I move away
You’re getting nearer
But getting close was not your way

It’s taking so long
For me to get on the right track
And I can’t go back
I can’t go back
No I can’t go back

You are so sure
I can’t resist
But there’s so much more
I’ve missed
I can’t go back

You are so sure
I can’t resist
There’s so much more
I’ve missed
And I can’t go back
I can’t go back
I can’t go back
No, I can’t go back
I can’t go back
I can’t go back
You’re not the same
I can’t go back
My situation’s changed
No, I can’t go back
I’m not the same
I can’t go back
You know I’ve changed
No, I can’t go back
You’re on your own
I can’t go back
So go back home
No, I can’t go back
You know I’ve changed
I can’t go back
My situation’s changed
No, I can’t go back
You know I’ve changed
I can’t go back
I’ve rearranged
No, I can’t go back
