Back Again Lyrics by The Correspondents

Puppet Loosely Strung

2014

[Introduction]
(You've won, well done)

[Verse 1]
I was told to return when my heart had been broken
As if I was lacking a qualification
I realized as soon as I'd gone my own way
You cracked it like a nut and I wanted to stay (stay)
In your hands I feel like a wind-up toy
Walking with a molded face of frozen joy
You wind me up, turn me to face the table's edge
I fall down just as you make your pledge
But what did you say you said?
And why did you do what you've done?
One minute we're laughing in bed
The next an ultimatum?
So now I have passed your test
Three weeks in a total mess
Can I come back again?

[Chorus]
Love is a game you play
You've won, well done
Can I come back again?
You've won, well done
Can I come back again?

[Verse 2]
You want to see me in a state over you
As if raw eyes confirm that my feelings are true
And you won't believe my adoration if it's simply said
So like a frog pawed by a cat I play dead
It's not as though you leave me be
You're always checking up on me
Calling friends and family
Who tell me you're not turning back
But they could hear it in your voice that something was about to crack
Maybe you are not as in control as you let on
There's a genuine fear that I might move on
Thoughts in my head are rearranged
The game starts to change
Can I come back again?

[Chorus]
Love is a game you play
You've won, well done
Can I come back again?
Love is a game you play
You've won, well done
Can I come back again?

[Verse 3]
You play the tough one
When all along you're hoping that I won't run
So I set a plan in place
I tell friends and family to pass on the news
That I've swept away the blues and found a new girl to chase
Events are then relayed
I hear nothing from you for five days
So I assume that we have gone our separate ways
Then silence is broken with a message which says (says):
"I wanted to know if you could break my heart
"So we know where we both stand right from the start
"You don't know what you've got until you've given it away
"Can I come back again?"

[Chorus]
Love is a game you play
You've won, well done
Can I come back again?
Can I come back again?
Love is a game you play
You've won, well done
Can I come back again?
Love is a game you play (Can I come back again?)
You've won, well done
Can I come back again?
