"No Going Back"

Written in 2006. I think it's actually a love song, not usually my way.
Star Heartless Music/ASCAP.

Lyrics:

She's bigger than a minute & stronger than an hour
cooler than the porcelain & better than a shower

...on the hottest day of Summer. She's 5 lucky numbers
a natural wonder with no signs she's going under

She's a pill for the pain, an umbrella in the rain
She'll be there for you again & again

There's no going back, She's the confidence I lack
& the time you lost track of, & the memories you'll look back on
There's no going back

She's a higher octane & the last puzzle pieces
She's smooth like a come on, except she really means it

She's an after hours bar & a newly named star
a scar with a story, like the kind that never bores me

She's the morning if you want it or the night that never ends
She's harder than forgiveness & rarer than old friends

There's no going back
Back to what -- I don't know
I'm over my head and it's starting to show
Back to when -- there is nothing before her
Back to who -- They've got to go
I'm over my head and I think she knows
There's no going back

She's the 27th letter in a tight black sweater
& even when it's really good she can always make it better

She's perfect weather, you feel great when you're together
& she'll drive you up to Heaven... where she's always rollin' sevens

She's a caffeine hit & a high gear shift
& the understated genius of what goes unsaid between us

There's no going back, She's the confidence I lack
& the time you lost track of, & the memories you'll look back on
There's no going back
