As I look out in the night
And count the stars all shining bright
I wonder where I am and where I'm going
Sometimes I think I've lived before
I seem to see beyond a door
But it's just a crazy notion I leave showing
I live my life as sensitive as possible then one day
Maybe I'll wake up young again
With feelings of a new day
But what we feel I know we'll miss
And someday I'll look back at this
And know by then the life that we were meant for
But I see you're leaving
Leaving my back door
You want the world to give you some
You fight a war that's never won
And you come back scarred 'caus you've seen who's really dying
You reach a point where nothing lasts
You play a part that someone casts you into
Now their machines keep right on lying
I want the world to be a place where no one comes to suffer
Just give the pain an empty space away from one another
Let's seal our words with a kiss
'Cause someday we'll look back at this
We'll know by then the life that we were meant for
But are you leaving?
Leaving by my back door
