lyrics

I know I'm not totally broken
Think I can play through the pain
Crack to my rib and I'm not positive
I've relearned how to breathe again

Not gonna blame anybody
Nobody's fault but my own
But you lit the fire and watched it burn higher
And then scurried out after the show

Burn down the house if you need to
I never thought it was home
But could you take me back to July
Before you go?

Despite all the light of a summer surprise
We were easing right into the fall
Sat on the grass and we watched the day pass
As the time, it stood still, I recall

But something was off in the sequence
Too heavy to carry the one
You walked away and all I can say is
I don't know why it hurts like it does

I had my nose to the grindstone
While you had your eyes on the road
But could you take me back to July
Before you go?

I know I wouldn't do different
Pitch you my line that I said
Get all this way and then pray it away
'Til I end up back here today

Is that saying something? I wonder
The more that I try to erase
I end up replaying our favorite days
Do it over and over again

Coffee pot's on for the martyr
And don't let me get in your way
But could you take me back to July
Before you go?

I'll look away if you need me to
Or break down and cry in your coat
But could you take me back to July
Before you go?

Could you take me back to July
Before you go?
