Readying Lyrics

Memories are a series of soundtracks
History kept between the insert and the jacket
You moved like it mattered
Sometimes it's so hard to get back there

Melody arrived simple and honest
On a drunk to sing about what he regretted
Backbeat still keeps the time
That reduced us from a pull-quote to a byline

So get ready, it's coming
You move like you mean it

It's all cause and effect in someone else's hands
So you leave it up to chance

'Cause love's nice work if you can get it
But you don't lose any sleep over the things you would do different
All the words that you would eat
Broken like a promise a quote in boldface type
"You can't outrun your past, but you can try"

So get ready
