Keane - Looking Back lyrics

You're living in a place you left behind
Going 'round in circles all the time
Can see the way you head
It’s like you're blind
So open your eyes and
Time realign just what you got
With what you nearly had
and what you want
You fall asleep and then the moment's gone
So open your eyes in time

(K'naan)
Yeah
It's hard to undo time
Hard to separate my past from a rhyme.
'Cause how could you separate milk from lime
Waste my time

(Tom)
Looking back
You always seem to be looking back
Feels like your mind's always somewhere else
You're always looking over your shoulder

Think of all the places you could never be
Beauty in the faces that you'll never see
As you lie, they're sleeping
How the moment flies
To open your eyes in time

(K'naan)
They say life makes sense backwards
Only you gotta live it forward

(Tom)
Don't waste your time
No don't waste your time
Just looking back
You always seem to be looking back
Feels like your mind's always somewhere else
You're always looking over your shoulder
Looking back
You always seem to be looking back
Feels like your mind's always somewhere else
You're always looking over your shoulder

(K'naan)
Am I the only one trying to fight off an army
Of memories dressed up
All trying to harm me
I feel cocky,
Running up the steps like Rocky
Until the past comes flashing like paparazzi
Nothing is new, so I open my folder
My favorite view is over my shoulder
Everything backwards is my plight
If landing first will end my flight
Even my tears run up my cheeks
Back in my eye
Live, I die
Don't waste your time

(Tom)
Looking back
You always seem to be looking back
Feels like your mind's always somewhere else
You're always looking over your shoulder
You always seem to be looking back
Feels like your mind's always somewhere else
You're always looking over your shoulder
You're always looking back
Over and over...
