Lyrics
Time Goes Back
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.
These things'll go slowly by
These things
They'll be where no one would think
And when given this life
I ought've thanked you all who will take it away
I notice that you're fine
Setting up beside wherever turns a blind eye
Any solemn phase
And you belong to two times at once
My radio's my heart
We live as one
Two ways at once
I know the waves I form
I know the way I won't become
These still places that are gone by
Believe they're somewhere else
(Believe they're somebody else)
Jumping in the mind of a passerby
And being replaced like times flies
Another wasted flaw
Going up against the endless law
I'm flown through a mirror
Almost disappearing
I glow faintly
You know this is nobody's life
I saw the days I lost
Hiding behind tomorrow's costs
Time going back, time going back
Time going back, time going back
Time going back, time going back
Time going back, time going back
