The Beaches - Back of My Heart Lyrics

I can see it coming in the distance
I can feel you walking through
For miles and miles and miles
You shake your head and say
I don't know what you were thinking
'Cause you don't belong here at all
You're just an insult to my eyes and ears and mouth

I can feel you tapping on the brick wall
I can hear you kick and yell
And tell me to come down
But I think I'm gonna stay here for a while

I know things are looking up
I don't know how long, I'll try my luck
I just know someday, I'm gonna get there
So don't hold me back, just hold me up
I can take a hit, I can take a punch
'Cause today's the day, I'm gonna get there

From the back of my heart
I'm gonna get there
To the back of your heart
I'm gonna get there

And I know that you're just trying to change my mind
Say you're such a progressive thinker
But you don't understand
You can't just sit up there, you gotta give me a chance

I know things are looking up
I don't know how long, I'll try my luck
I just know someday, I'm gonna get there
So don't hold me back, just hold me up
I can take a hit, I can take a punch
'Cause today's the day, I'm gonna get there

From the back of my heart
I'm gonna get there
To the back of your heart
I'm gonna get there
I'm gonna get there

I know things are looking up
I don't know how long, I'll try my luck
I just know someday, I'm gonna get there
So don't hold me back, just hold me up
I can take a hit, I can take a punch
'Cause today's the day, I'm gonna get there

From the back of my heart
I'm gonna get there
To the back of your heart
I'm gonna get there
From the back of my heart
I'm gonna get there
To the back of your heart
I'm gonna get there
I'm gonna get there
