Boomerang Lyrics

Moving at the speed of sound
You'd think I'd be slowing down
But I'm not losing my momentum
If 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 followed through


[Chorus]
I'll come on back
Cause I know
That though you meant to let me go
I could always be your boomerang
I'll come on back
You will see
All you said got through to me and I would like to be your boomerang

Gong down, but no one knew
I was losing altitude
I should have landed, and I tried to

I never took my eyes off you
But I got dizzy and you threw me
You were right to
[Chorus]

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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
