I wrote Back in Your Life waiting for someone now we're together and it goes like this]
[People who've known me for years see a change in me in the past six months,
In fact this past year, and they, this is what I say]
Well I've got a new thing happening now
(They say Jonathan, what's happenin'? so I tell them)

Well it's all that I've got somebody to hold me
I say she holds me, and it feels good
I say now I've got somebody to hold me
I say she holds me tighter than I thought she would
Cause I've got somebody to hold me

Sometimes, sometimes I'm scared of having a wife
(Jonathan you've changed, what brings the change we see?)
Well, it's all that I've got somebody to hold me
I say, she holds me and it feels real right
I say, I've got somebody to hold me
Now I don't get lonely in the middle of the night
I've got somebody to hold me
Well, I still get sad, that's true
I've got somebody to hold me
But she's there and I have someone to talk to
Well and sometimes it's sad the same way autumn can be
You know, all that loneliness saying goodbye to me
(Jonathan what brings such a change as we see?)
It's all that I've got somebody to hold me
Oh

Not a chance, not one chance in a million ???]
Now you know
[Jonathan, how ya doin?
Well I admit it has been a little rough for a few years
But since I've got somebody to hold me
Things have been better]
[So I'm gonna tell you about how my life has changed since
You know a lot of my songs were about the same girl
I was a, in fact it was a beautiful part of my life
It's beautiful to be that sad over ???
To know that there's one person
??? Friends are telling you 'Jonathan ???
You might as well go back to someone else she's never coming back'
And you say 'hey, I'm not talking to you about it anymore
You just don't get it'
They say ???
But things have been ???
In a way sometimes this song
??? I almost miss that sometimes you see because it's so sad it's almost beautiful
All the trees speak to you when you're that sad
The seas speak to you when you're that sad
So there's a sadness even in the period that's happening now
Because sometimes you see an old part of me that was there before
Is no longer around
But with lonely part there it is it's no longer there
???

[Out here I don't know whether people grow up in LA would know much about this thing,
Autumn, the season when all the leaves turn different colours,
I've seen a few of them, I saw it out here once,
??? Different colours, then an hour later ???,
You see the idea about autumn like they have it back in New England where I'm from ???
Autumn, like it's beautiful,
Well see, I was lonely before,
It's just that I was that way so long,
Sometimes like a part of me died, you may not really miss it but strange]
