Yesterday I promised on Facebook that my next song would be “Jack Johnson Always Gets My Deference”. That didn’t come out, but I did fit “deference” into this one.

Lyrics

Falling Back To You
Words and Music by David J. Hahn

Verse 1
In deference to the king
I’ve taken back the ring
And left you all alone

My pride is on the line
It’s taken me some time
To let this one go

It’s not that I’m afraid
It’s not that I’m not brave
I just can’t get out

Verse 2
I’ve been taken by the sun
And rushed through all the fun
But now I’ll take my time

Give up my spot in line
And let my life unwind
In deference to the king

But it’s hard to sooth my mind
It’s hard to fill the time
Without you

[Chorus]
Take a number off the wall
Please someone take them all
There’s too much light inside this place
The walls are falling in this place
Falling back to you
‘Cause that’s just what they do
The fall right back to you

Verse 3
I eat sunshine like food
Just to lighten up the mood
And I throw away the rest

But these walls are such a pest
What can I do
When I’m falling back to you?

There’s to much time to pine
As I try to clear my mind
Can you feel it too?

[Chorus]

Verse 4
In deference to the king
I’ve forgotten everything
I’ve closed the doors and gone

I’m walking in the sun
And having lots of fun
How are you?

It’s not that I don’t think
About your face
From time to time

It’s just that you aren’t mine.
