Can’t Go Back There
Words and music by Allan Rosensweig

Your eyes are closed but I bet you’re still wide awake
Probably thinking last night was a big mistake
We can’t deny those sparks were flying round the bar
And I wonder if you wonder if we went too far
Well even if we went too far…

Don’t see how we can pour those empty shots back in the bottle
Rewind the night to right before the love we shared
Now we both know
That we can’t go back there
Don’t see how we can put that slow dance back into the speakers
Pretend the magic never filled up last night’s air
And we both know
That we can’t go back there

We can blame it on the Cuervo and slice of lime
The way our eyes met and your hand brushed against mine
Leaned in a little too close and tasted that first kiss
Then one led to another and we couldn’t resist
Never thought it would feel like this

Don’t see how we can pour those empty shots back in the bottle
Rewind the night to right before the love we shared
Now we both know
That we can’t go back there
Don’t see how we can put that slow dance back into the speakers
Pretend the magic never filled up last night’s air
And we both know
That we can’t go back there
We can’t go back there

We can’t go back like nothing ever happened
We can’t go back and say that we’re just friends
When we're so much more than friends

Don’t see how we can pour those empty shots back in the bottle
Rewind the night to right before the love we shared
Now we both know
That we can’t go back there
Don’t see how we can put that slow dance back into the speakers
Pretend the magic never filled up last night’s air
And we both know
That we can’t go back there
We can’t go back there…
