Boomerang

by Barenaked Ladies

on Grinning Streak (2013)

Moving at the speed of sound, you think I'd be slowing down
But I'm not losing my momentum
There are ways to turn around, so I don't crash into the ground
I wish someone would invent them

Despite the pretty dress and curls
You don't throw like other girls
You follow through

But I come on back, 'cause I know
That though you meant to let me go
I could always be your boomerang
I come on back, you will see
That all you said got through to me
And I would like to be your boomerang

Goin' down but no one knew, I was losing altitude
I should've landed and I tried to
I never took my eyes off you, but I got dizzy and you threw
Me, you were right to

But I come on back, 'cause I know
That though you meant to let me go
I could always be your boomerang
I come on back, you will see
That all you said got through to me
And I would like to be your boomerang

I flew apart but they reattached me
I'm coming in hot, hope you catch me

But I come on back, 'cause I know
That though you meant to let me go
I could always be your boomerang
I come on back, you will see
That all you said got through to me
And I would like to be your boomerang

But I come on back, 'cause I know
That though you meant to let me go
I could always be your boomerang
I come on back, you will see
That all you said got through to me
And I would like to be your boomerang

Yeah, I would like to be your boomerang
Let me be your boomerang
I would like to be your boomerang
