Every Time You Look Back

When I was 21
Thought I was done
I had some fun I thought
And then at 24
I changed some more
Walked out a door and thought back when
When I was fourteen years
I crossed a sea
Entered a plea
Then tried to flee
Met up with you
And came to see what’s true
You can’t be more than your past
It’s true that prelude is a pest
So you must blindly lead the rest of your life
Cause every time you look back you lie
You lie
You lie
You lie
I said I knew you when
I can’t pretend to know much more
When I had met you
I had just been born
I coulda sworn that was the start
When I was sixteen years
I thought back when
I had some friends
Cherished a past
That couldn’t last
That wouldn’t do
That never flew
And wasn’t true
Or so I thought I knew
You can’t be more than your past
It’s true that prelude is a pest
So you must blindly lead the rest of your life
Cause every time you look back you lie
You lie
You lie
You lie
You lie
You lie
You can’t be more than your past
It’s true that prelude is a pest
So you must blindly lead the rest of your life
Cause every time you look back you lie
You lie
You lie
You lie
You lie
You lie
