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 that 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 just ain't 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
