Sparks Lyrics

"Jansport Backpack"

JanSport Backpack
She wears a JanSport Backpack
JanSport Backpack
She wears a JanSport Backpack

Oh why, do you keep walking away?
Then why, do you always treat me this way?

JanSport Backpack
She wears a JanSport Backpack
JanSport Backpack
She wears a JanSport Backpack

We're face to face
We're toe to toe
We're eye to eye
You're turning slow

Strap on your pack
Now fully turned
I feel a hint
I will be burned

You walk away
Open the door
Enter the night
What is this for?

Out then you go
I know not where
I know not why
Not just for air

I start to trail
But you walk fast
All of the girls
Seen from behind

JanSport Backpack
They wear a JanSport Backpack
JanSport Backpack
They wear a JanSport Backpack

Oh why, I try my best every day
Oh why, oh why, oh why
Please put your JanSport away

Oh why, do you keep turning away?
Oh why, I try my best every day

Then late each night
Silent return
Take off your pack
Hard to discern

We all need time
Time to ourselves
But don't we owe
Someone in Hell?

Some little phrase
"I will be back"
Something like that
And why the pack?

It's not my place
To eye and pry
Into your pack
Tempted to try

JanSport Backpack
She wears a JanSport Backpack
JanSport Backpack
She wears a JanSport Backpack

And why, do you keep walking away?
And why, oh why, oh why
Do you always treat me this way?

JanSport Backpack
JanSport Backpack
Walking away
Walking away
Walking away
Walking away
