Back of the Road
Echoes of Longing: Shadowclub's Back of the Road Tale
Lyrics
Don’t let me down too soon
Asking not to be disappointed or let down prematurely.
A thousand miles between me and your room
Expressing the physical distance between the singer and the person they desire.
The streets of the red light don’t hold a place for me
Feeling out of place or unwelcome in certain environments or situations.
Don’t let me drown too soon
Requesting not to be overwhelmed or overcome by circumstances too soon.
There in the back of your road
Referring to a distant or secluded area.
There where the forest trees grow
Describing a natural setting, possibly symbolizing a peaceful or untouched place.
Stuck in the back of your car
Feeling stuck or confined in a specific situation, represented by a car.
I never knew
Expressing unawareness or lack of knowledge about something.
You’re always there, ooh, yeah
Emphasizing the constant presence of someone in the singer's thoughts or life.
You're always there, yeah
Reiteration of the recurring presence of someone in the singer's life.
You're always there, oh, yeah
-You're always there, yeah
-Don’t let me fall in the aftermath
Requesting not to be left to deal with the consequences or effects alone.
A thousand miles between me and your calls
Highlighting the distance in communication between the singer and the desired person.
The rows of the dark night don’t hold a place for me
Feeling out of place or uncomfortable in certain nighttime settings.
Don’t let me down too soon
Reiterating the plea not to be abandoned or let down prematurely.
There in the back of your road
Referring to a distant or secluded area, similar to line #6.
There where the forest trees grow
Describing a natural setting, similar to line #7.
Stuck in the back of your car
Feeling confined or restricted in a specific situation, as in line #8.
I never knew
Reiterating unawareness or lack of knowledge about something, similar to line #9.
You’re always there, ooh, yeah
Emphasizing the consistent presence of someone in the singer's thoughts or life.
You're always there, yeah
-You're always there, ooh, yeah
-You're always there, oh, yeah
-You’re always there, oh yeah
Continuing to stress the constant presence of someone in the singer's life.
You're always there, yeah
