Pratt, Jessica - Back, Baby Lyrics

💫💫💫💫💫 551-539

If a cat was a person that could sing, this is what it would sound like

Start at 0:09

Sometimes I pray for the rain
You know I tried to see things from your side
To leave things undefined
But where would you advise?
Let it generate a new design
For the missing piece I had to disguise
Saw a paper with the header that
Your love is just a myth I devised
In things walk that you can never take back again
Things walk that you can never take back again
If there was a time that you loved me
If there was a time when you said that you want me to believe
That I can go back baby
I can go back baby I am
And sometimes I pray for the rain
You, and your glass world that does rain
Oh when time's a frozen thing
It encloses you in its crystalline
Looks so lovely that you'll have to decide
If you could play it in reverse then you'd find
That you'd better reconsider all the love you took in
And then cast aside
But things walk that you can never take back again
Things walk that you can never take back again
There was a time that you loved me
There was a time when you said that you want me to believe
That I can go back, baby
I can go back, baby, I am
And sometimes I pray for the rain
Girl I know I'm losing time without you
Never had a second chance before this time
But things walk that they never do recall on
Things walk that they never do recall on
Can't go baby baby
Can't go back baby
And sometimes I pray for the rain
And sometimes I pray for the rain

It’s WONDERFUL!!!

i swear i thought courtney barnett was one of the girls in the footage

Haha looks like her!

This gives me a warm feeling in my heart

Think Kevin Morby nailed it, he referred to Jessica Pratt as the GOAT. Not going to lie, I hadn't heard of her until that point but he was right.

My best friends father always treated me like I was his since my father was abusive to me, my mother, and my two brothers. He taught me to follow my dreams, no matter what. He bought me my first guitar amp and guitar. He owned his own appraisal firm and was a workaholic but always made time for those who weren’t privileged, he was a volunteer for the city and helped put together events for the local orphanage often. He passed away from brain cancer this past year and i think about him daily. This song makes me reminisce on all the times he’d tell me stories about life and how it was all just a journey and that we should try to enjoy ourselves as much as we can while working hard. I miss you so much Scott.

Oh wow I’m so sorry

[Intro]
Sometimes I pray for the rain

[Verse 1]
You know I try, to see things from your side
To leave things undefined
But where would you advise?
That I generate a new design
For the missing piece I had to disguise
Saw a paper with the header that your love is just a myth I devised
And things like that you can never take back again
Things like that you can never take back again

[Pre-Chorus]
If there was a time
That you loved me
If there was a time
When you said that you want me to believe

[Chorus]
But you can't go back, baby
Can't go back, baby
And sometimes I pray for the rain

[Verse 2]
You and your glass world that does ring
Though at times a frozen thing
It encloses you in its crystalline
Look so lovely but you’ll have to decide
If you could play it in reverse then you’d find
That you’d better reconsider all the love you took and then cast aside
But things like that you can never take back again
Things like that you can never take back again

[Pre-Chorus]
If there was a time
When you loved me
If there was a time
When you said that you want me to believe

[Chorus]
But you can't go back, baby
Can't go back, baby
And sometimes I pray for the rain

[Bridge]
Girl I know I'm losing time without you
Never had a second chance before this time
But things like that, they never do work out right
Things like that, no, they never do work out right

[Chorus]
Can't go baby baby
Can't go back baby
And sometimes I pray for the rain
And sometimes I pray for the rain

The first time it was in featured in Flipboard, i fell in love with the song.

Hope you get the attention you deserve

Wow, so beautiful!!!

Sometimes I pray for the rain

[Verse 1]
You know I try, to see things from your side
To leave things undefined
But where would you advise?
That I generate a new design
For the missing piece I had to disguise
Saw a paper with the header that your love is just a myth I devised
And things like that you can never take back again
Things like that you can never take back again

[Pre-Chorus]
If there was a time
That you loved me
If there was a time
When you said that you want me to believe

[Chorus]
But you can't go back, baby
Can't go back, baby
And sometimes I pray for the rain

[Verse 2]
You and your glass world that does ring
Though at times a frozen thing
It encloses you in its crystalline
Look so lovely but you’ll have to decide
If you could play it in reverse then you’d find
That you’d better reconsider all the love you took and then cast aside
But things like that you can never take back again
Things like that you can never take back again

in love with you jessica..;)

This is amazing

i always come back to this song. idk if thats good or bad...

Maicon M. It's both

This song hurts more than most.

This song hurts more than most.

i miss you so much 😟

all these music videos give me a unique vibe,life seems easier and purer while and after watching them but they also have a sad kind of feeling in them. thank you for this emotion,i really appreciate your work!

WHY ISNT THIS ON SPOTIFY

Now listening to Vashti Bunyan - I'd like to walk around in your mind

I'm feeling sad because my girlfriend who I've been with for two years and I are drifting apart, as we are both going to graduate school. (I know, dear diary...) But sadness can be beautiful, especially when love is still there. This song bleeds beautiful sadness, & thanks for the nostalgic footage.

woooow !! best of the best

Amazing. I'm hooked

No sé si hables/entiendas español, pero tu canal es de lo mejor que me he encontrado por Youtube. God bless u.

If there was a time... So beautifully wistful, always brings out a tear.

Man, hope you wont get your channel closed because of that copyright shit like suburbanbatherson's. Make sure to backup your shit. It was a fucking tragedy back then

why this song is not on spotify? :(

i don't think drag city allow anything on spotify

it's on there now my dude

dog with sun hat

Your work is absolutely beautiful. Please never stop posting

needs to be on spotify man

thanks for the great video, but I remember there was another video for the same track with scenes from Texas, Paris movie, was that yours?

this song makes me feel good

i was born in April of 1976, coincidence? i think not.

you really inspire me dude! :)

daaamn this channel is a treasure

where did you found the footage?

beautiful music

beautiful music

so good

Just saw her live and couldn't have been more pissed at how rude the audience was. Had a bunch of people in the back having full on conversations from the beginning all the way to the end of the performance, not to mention idiots who kept coming in and out of the venue slamming heavy doors during this soft acoustic performance. Memphis is full of retards.

had the exact same experience at one of her shows in san diego. wondering if most of her shows are like that

"Memphis is full of retards" is a statement i agree with, being from there.

I wanna hang out with these people.

and sometimes i pray for the rain . . .

Unbelievable seeing her at Pitchfork live on my bday goddam

I love this song.

And now I love these people too, whoever they were.

dreamtastic!

I love you man thank you for existing

this song brings me a nostalgic feel. Best channel ever!!

nostalgic charm
her music smell the fields and harvest

Oui ça pourrait être le cas, mais pas toute les religions croient aux anges... c'est aisé pour nous autres chrétiens

C'est pourtant beau les anges, je ne sais pas si tu as vu Les Ailes du désir ?. Le diable aussi est beau, à sa façon. 

@Moon Light
 Les ailes du desir ?  Parles tu de Wenders ?
Je ne suis pas sur de l'avoir vu... c'est de 1987 ou 1993 ?  J'ai vu celui ou il y a Nick Cave (1987)... J'aime bien Wenders...sa vision de  l'Amerique est assez onirique chez lui

Nick Cave joue dedans, il joue son propre rôle : un chanteur. 

Belle vision de l’Amérique en effet (Paris, Texas), une Amérique qui n'existe presque plus aujourd'hui. 

@Moon Light
Oui alors c'est celui que j'ai vu ...avec Bruno Ganz, heureusement qu'il y a quelques bon acteurs suisse (reconnu) ici bas
Ah oui Paris Texas est superbe et ça fait déjà 30 ans qu'il est sorti !

i love this song sooo much
