The Backpack Song Lyrics by Bear Attack!

Shapes

2012

[Verse 1]
Backpack on my back, walking down a railroad track
Oh, I've been wanting to see you
Eyes upon the rows of trees, an endless sea in front of me
Oh, I've been longing to see you

[Verse 2]
You've been on my mind, talk about a lonely time
You don't know how much I need you
Once I feel the downy snow, the only home I've ever known
I'll hold you close when I see you

[Pre-Chorus]
There's no way I could let you go
There's no way I could let you go
There's no way I could let you go

[Chorus]
And it seems to me
We sing soft and low
Such a sweet hello

[Verse 3]
Backpack on my back, standing on a railroad track
It won't be long 'til I see you
Why do I always have to leave the only one I'll ever need?
Now hold me close while I breathe you

[Pre-Chorus]
There's no way I could let you go
There's no way I could let you go
There's no way I could let you go

[Chorus]
And it seems to me
We sing soft and low
Such a sweet hello

[Verse 1]
Backpack on my back, walking down a railroad track
Oh, I've been wanting to see you
Eyes upon the rows of trees, an endless sea in front of me
Oh, I've been longing to see you

[Outro]
You've been on my mind, talk about a lonely time
(There's no way I could let you go)
You don't know how much I need you
(There's no way I could let you go)
Eyes upon the rows of trees, an endless sea in front of me
(There's no way I could let you go)
Oh, I've been longing to see you
(There's no way I could let you go)
And it seems to me
(Backpack on my back, walking down a railroad track)
We sing soft and low
(Oh, I've been wanting to see you)
Such a sweet hello
(Eyes upon the rows of trees, an endless sea in front of me
Oh, I've been longing to see you)
You've been on my mind, talk about a lonely time
(There's no way I could let you go)
You don't know how much I need you
