Lyrics
[Chorus]
My love, can we go backwards
Back to the days before the going got rough?
I know there's no going back now
I tried to move on, but I got stuck in reverse
[Verse 1]
So go, there's a world of changes
So many bridges still to get over, rubicons still to cross
And I'll be picking up the pieces
Long after you left, and long after you're gone
I know there's no getting over this, try as I must
I drink to forget, it only makes it worse
[Chorus]
Can we go backwards
Back to the days before the wheels came off?
I know there's no going back now
I tried to move forward, but I'm stuck in reverse
[Verse 2]
I see the little lights go changing, green to orange
Every time you say, "That's enough"
Clouds come gathering and the sky starts falling
You're jamming up the circuits, there's water in the wires
[Chorus]
My love, can we go backwards
Back to the days before the wheels came off?
I know there's no going back now
I tried to move on, but I got stuck in reverse
[Verse 3]
So go, there's a world worth seeing
So many doors just waiting to open up and greet you
So go with good wishes and my blessings
Take it as you find it, you're free now as a bird, go on
I know I'll get over this, try and I must
I'm not looking down, no, I'm not pushing my luck
[Outro]
Can we go backwards
Back to the days before the wheels came off?
I know there's no going back now
I tried to move on, but I got stuck in reverse
