lyrics

When you lit up your smoke
I think that's when I realized
How cool you must've looked
Or how dumb I must've felt
Because I wanted all ya took
And there's certainly no turning back now

When you took off your shoes
Maybe that's about when
I knew I was gonna have to lose
Cause hair like that don't flow
When someone like me is in the room
And there's certainly no turning back now

When you stepped out of the car
I guess that's when I figured out
That all my cheap cigars
Would never make me cool enough
To fit within your palm
And there's certainly no turning back now

When you picked up your guitar
I saw it in your fingers
In the way you drove your car
The way you sat reserved
The way you closed the night in awe
And there's certainly no turning back now

If your eyes weren't so bright
Maybe I might have a shot
At seeing you through the night
Or maybe saying something
'stead of staying out of sight
And there's certainly no turning back now

When the night time eats away
And chases down what's left
Of all the hopeless, easy prey
That ultimately defies my ego
As it slips away
There's certainly no turning back now

If you'd simply give me time
To rearrange the way I think
and push all this behind
Maybe all those scattered thoughts
Won't matter in my mind
Cause there's certainly no turning back now
