Walking from the past
But i don't think i've said my goodbyes
Sometimes i just find
That they keep sneaking up from behind
Closing up the wounds
I suppose it's supposed to take some more time
Then what do i find
That we've closed every door in our lives
And i know you're the only one for me
But standing in my sleep
Never going back and forth
I'm only going forward
That's what i keep saying
Never going back and forth
I'm only going back
That's what i mean
Something haunts my dreams
Don't know what it means
Itching at the scabs
Only makes my troubles run high
Cuz scratching at my sheets
Makes my bark much worse than my bite
Itching for a fight
As your nails are running over my spine
Cuz the doors are open
And they keep swirling back to my mind
But i know you're the only one for me
But standing in my sleep
Never going back and forth
I'm only going forward
That's what i keep saying
Never going back and forth
I'm only going back
That's what i mean
Something haunts my dreams
Don't know what it means
Never going back and forth
I'm only going forward
That's what i keep saying
Never going back and forth
I'm only going back
That's what i mean
My screws are loose
My noose is tight
I'm lost
I'm back and forth
I'm in between
My screws are loose
My noose is tight
I'm lost
I'm back and forth
I'm in between
