Knocking on Your Backdoor Lyrics by Emma Cai

2021

Thought I’d get closure
If we got closer
But I don’t think that was the plan
Cause I feel like I lost her
Who she is, who she be
All I know is who she was
If only we had stayed the same
That would have been nice just because
It’s hard to sleep knowing we were a lost cause
Started the race
Only to say it was too hard
Stuck in the rearview
While everyone changed cars
Show me your hand, we ain’t even got the same cards

Two souls brought together for a moment
Two souls intertwined, single enrollment
Two soles one worn down, one kept on going
I don’t want to notice, I just want to stay focused

Our paths crossed unexpectedly
And our time was short, perhaps unintentionally
Two stars shooting by, intersecting for a brevity
I glance to the right, we were destined for different things

It’s time to take a break
It’s time to take your place and wait
It’s time to forgive yourself of the mistakes
You made along the way
All the ups and downs of finding myself in the gray
Made me learn to never stake myself on someone else’s take

All the “should haves” should have been “have beens”
But the truth is, all the “should haves” should have been
Left behind and shoved in the dustbin
Spring cleaning is the start of something new, it’s not the end

Nostalgia is walking down memory lane
And regret is nostalgia, just colored with pain
Regret is a road you don’t need to maintain
I want to see you in 5 years on a different plane
