It`s a song on the radio
It`s your picture on the wall in my bedroom
It`s any one of a million memories
Girl, everything takes me back but you
It`s every place that we`ve ever been
It`s running into someone we both knew
Or it`s the face of a total stranger
Girl, everything takes me back but you
I`ve called you up I`ve begged and pleaded left love letters at your door
Though I broke your heart you gotta believe it hurt me even more
So what`s it gonna take, what ya wanna hear Girl, I think I`ve paid my dues
And it might be just but it don`t seem fair that everything takes me back but you
It`s a sound or it`s the silence
It`s the thought of what I`ve done
I can`t undo
Or it`s the dream I can`t put behind me
Girl, everything takes me back but you
I`ve called you up I`ve begged and pleaded left love letters at your door
Though I broke your heart you gotta believe it hurt me even more
So what`s it gonna take, what ya wanna hear Girl, I think I`ve paid my dues
And it might be just but it don`t seem fair that everything takes me back but you
It`s the night or it`s the morning
It`s the thunder rolling in before it rains
Or it`s a long, long, long, long stretch of highway
Girl, it`s nothing and it`s everything, it`s everything
Everything takes me back but you
Girl, everything takes me back but you
