Kansas Back Door Lyrics

As I look out into the night
And count the stars all shining bright
I wonder where I am and where I'm going?
Sometimes I think I've lived before
I seem to see beyond a door
But it's just a crazy notion I leave showing

I live my life as sensitive as possible, then one day
Maybe I'll wake up young again with feelings of a new way

But what we feel I know we'll miss
And someday I'll look back at this
And know by then the life that we were meant for
But I see you leaving
Leaving by my back door

You want the world to give you some
You fight a war that's never won
And you come back scarred 'cause you've seen who's really dying
You reach a point where nothing lasts
You play the part that someone casts you into
Now their machines keep right on lying I want the world to be a place where no one comes to suffer
Just give the pain an empty space away from one another

Let's seal our words within a kiss
'Cause someday we'll look back at this
We'll know by then the life that we were meant for
But are you leaving?
Leaving by my back door

I want the world to be a place where no one comes to suffer
Just give the pain an empty space away from one another

Let's seal our words within a kiss
'Cause someday we'll look back at this
We'll know by then the life that we were meant for
But are you leaving?
Leaving by my back door

Leaving by my back door
Hey! I see you leaving
Leaving by my back door
Hey! Hey! I see you leaving
leaving by my back door
Hey! Hey! Hey! I see you leaving
