Looking Back - Keane, K'NAAN

You’re living in a place you left behind

Going 'round in circles all the time

Can see the way your 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 and

Yeah, hard to undo time

Hard to separate my past from the wrong

'Cause how can you separate milk from lime

Waste my time

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 about the places you could never be Beauty in the faces that you never see

As you lie there sleeping, how the moment flies

So open your eyes and

Yeah, they say life makes us backwards

Only you got to live it forward

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

Am I the only one tryna fight off an army

Of memories, dressed up, all tryin' 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

It’s landing first would end my flight

Even my tears run up my cheeks, back in my eye

Live I die

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

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 and over

You’re always looking back
