Lyrics

Back And Forth

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Once upon a time I was somebody else

In another life I saw myself

Way back then back when I was new

Somewhere down the line I started to slip

Years gone by, biting my lip

All the while all this time I knew

Now you're on your own, one for the pages

Over the hill and through the ages

Does my heaven burn like hell on you?

Out beneath the cracks that come in waves

Rolling like an earthquake under the pavement

Where they now, tell me Mr. True

You gotta lot of nerve, nerve

Now show a little backbone, why don't you?

I'm looking for some back and forth with you

Are you feeling the same as I do?

Now and now and then

I'm looking for some back and forth with you

Are you feeling the same as I do?

Down and out

Holding my breath, I waited and waited

How'd this simple life get so complicated

Shoes to fill, secrets to spill down you

Deer in the headlights, smokin' the wheel

You won't pretend I need for real

Taking it back, all my IOUs

You gotta lot of nerve, nerve

Now show a little backbone, why don't you?

I?m looking for some back and forth with you

Are you feeling the same as I do?

Now and now and then

I'm looking for some back and forth with you

Are you feeling the same as I do?

Down and out

You gotta lot of nerve, nerve

Now show a little backbone, why don't you?

I'm looking for some back and forth with you

Are you feeling the same as I do?

Now and now and then

I'm looking for some back and forth with you

Are you feeling the same as I do?

Now and now and then

I'm looking for some back and forth with you

Are you feeling the same as I do?

Down and out
