Another night staying numb to the feeling
Do anything to keep you off my mind
Amuse myself with a fancy distraction
Do my impression of feeling fine

Me and my friends, hey we light up this town
And most nights that's more than enough

But falling back to then, wo oh
Without a warning sign
The image of your face, it breaks my heart
And shakes my state of mind
Suddenly I feel the sadness
All at once I can't pretend
Your memory interrupts the madness
Every now and again
I'm falling back to then

I tell myself stay ahead of the heartbreak
Keep your finger on the pulse of life
Stop feeling sorry for yourself, take the high road
Try and keep your head above the strife

I've done my best to outdistance your ghost
And most nights I swear that I've won

But falling back to then, wo oh
Without a warning sign
The image of your face, it breaks my heart
And shakes my state of mind
Suddenly I feel the sadness
All at once I can't pretend
Your memory interrupts the madness
Every now and again
I'm falling back to then

So I live the here and now
Get through the day somehow
And go out looking for someone
But I'll hear a certain song
Wonder where you've gone
My heart has nowhere left to run
Suddenly you feel the sadness
All at once I can't pretend
Every now and again
I'm falling back to then

But falling back to then, wo oh
Without a warning sign
The image of your face, it breaks my heart
And shakes my state of mind
Suddenly I feel the sadness
All at once I can't pretend
Your memory interrupts the madness
Every now and again
I'm falling back to then
Every now and again
I'm falling back to then
