“Straight Back Down” is sort of like the ‘dark horse’. This is because Dean has never played it live before releasing it. At the time, not many people have heard of it. Dean claims that this song could’ve been the lead single of the album in another life.
Dean was with his ex-girlfriend at a place...
[Verse 1]
You know I find it hard to sleep when
I'm sleeping by myself
And I’m lying in the spare room
Thinking I should be somewhere else
You should know when we've been drinking
We can sabotage ourselves
Like smashing up the kitchen
Now, there's nothing that seems to help
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don’t want to wake you up
Tell you that I'm leaving town
I already packed my stuff
Can't go back now
But the way you look brings me straight back down
I don't want to wake you up right now
[Chorus]
I was ready to go, ready to go
I don't want to wake you up right now
I was ready to go, ready to go
I don't want to wake you up right now
[Verse 2]
You're breaking out the windows
While I was tearing down the doors
And now I'm picking up the ashtray
That you threw against the wall
’Cause we take, and we take just a little more
I have no idea what we’re fighting for
No we're standing right here outside your door
Now I know, now I know
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don’t want to wake you up
Tell you that I'm leaving town
I already packed my stuff
Can't go back now
But the way you look brings me straight back down
I don't want to wake you up right now
[Chorus]
I was ready to go, ready to go
I don’t want to wake you up right now
I was ready to go, ready to go
I don't want to wake you up right now
[Bridge]
'Cause I can't live with you, I can't live without you
You feel like home, you feel like home
'Cause I can't live with you, I can't live without you
You feel like home, you feel like home
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don't want to wake you up
Tell you that I'm leaving town
I already packed my stuff
Can't go back now
But the way you look brings me straight back down
I don't want to wake you up right now
[Chorus]
I was ready to go, ready to go
I don't want to wake you up right now
(Can't live with you, I can't live without you)
I was ready to go, ready to go
I don't want to wake you up right now
(Can't live with you, I can't live without you)
I was ready to go, ready to go
I don't want to wake you up right now
