Back The Next Day
-written by Jeremy Gloff

THE STORY:
My inclination for years was to run back to the unloving men.  Here’s a song that’s an early testament to that behavior.

THE LYRICS:

You can point your finger right back at yourself
Cause you are to blame as much as I
Your words they are cutting and I can ignore them
Ignore me and watch me go by

Chorus:
Am I no more than a child
To believe anything that you’d say?
I know that you just want to hurt me
And you know I’ll run back the next day

You smiled when I hollered
You laughed when I cried
You gave no emotion
I gave too much of mine
I guess I’m too jealous
I never learned  how to trust
Do unto others as we want done unto us

Repeat Chorus

How can you hurt someone that you know loves you?
How can you throw me away?
Throw me away…I’ll run back the next day.

I may possess all the bad things you say I possess
There is nothing I’ll try to deny
But you’re playing baseball inside a glass diamond
Cause you are no different than I

Repeat Chorus

…and sometimes I wonder
If I had a loaded gun in my hand
If I’d point it at you
You’re always trying to act like you’re some super-hero
But your soul is not bullet proof

You are no more than a child
And you don’t believe anything that I say
I know that you just want to hurt me
And you know I’ll run back the next day
