Jani Lane - Back Down to One

Copied!edit Lyrics

★ Verse 1 ★
It’s like being cold
No one’s there to turn the thermostat up
It’s like being down
So far down, I think I’m hearing Chinese sounds

★ Chorus ★
It’s true (it’s true, it’s true, it’s true)
With you (with you), I was two
But now you’re gone
And I’m back down to one

★ Verse 2 ★
It’s like outer space
Far away and empty like a vacuum

★ Pre-Chorus ★
And if I saw your face
Would I want to hold you or destroy you
Maybe just ignore you

★ Chorus ★
It’s true (it’s true, it’s true, it’s true)
With you (with you), I was two
But now you’re gone
And I’m back down to one
I’m back down to one

★ Bridge ★
Can’t you see I’m so far down I’m hearing Chinese sounds
Can’t you see I’m so far down I’m hearing Chinese sounds

★ Pre-Chorus ★
And if I saw your face
Would I want to hold you or destroy you
Maybe just ignore you

★ Chorus ★
It’s true (it’s true, it’s true, it’s true)
With you (with you), I was two
But now you’re gone
And I’m back down to one
(Now that you are gone) I’m back down to one
(Now that you are gone) I’m back down to one
(Now that you are gone) I’m back down to one
(Now that you are gone)

★ Outro ★
Can’t you see I’m so far down I’m hearing Chinese sounds
