Looking Back

[Verse 1: Keane] You're living in a place you left behind Going round in circles all the time Can see the way your head, it's like you're blind So open your eyes in— [Verse 2] Time realign just what you got With what you nearly had and what you want You fall asleep and then the moment's gone So open your eyes in time [Pre-Chorus 1: K'naan] Yeah... It's hard to undo time Hard to separate my past from my rhyme Cause how can you separate milk from lime Waste my time [Chorus: Keane/K'naan] Looking back You always seem to be looking back Feels like your mind's always somewhere else You're always looking over your shoulder [Verse 3] Think of all the places you could never be Beauty in the faces that you never see As you lie there sleeping How the moment flies So open your eyes in time [Pre-Chorus 2: K'naan/Keane] Yeah... They say life makes sense backwards Only you gotta live it forwards Don't waste your time, no Don't waste your time just [Chorus: Keane/K'naan] Looking back You always seem to be looking back Feels like your mind's always somewhere else You're always looking over your shoulder Looking back You always seem to be looking back Feels like your mind's always somewhere else You're always looking over your shoulder [Bridge: K'naan] Am I the only one trying to fight off an army Of memories dressed up all trying to harm me I feel cocky running up the steps like Rocky Until the past come flashing like paparazzi Nothing is new so I open my folder My favourite view is over my shoulder Everything backwards is my plight It's landing first would end my flight Even my tears run up my cheeks Back in my eye Live I die I waste my time [Chorus: Keane/K'naan] Don't waste your time just looking back You always seem to be looking back Feels like your mind's always somewhere else You're always looking over your shoulder You always seem to be looking back Feels like your mind's always somewhere else You're always looking over your shoulder [Outro: Keane] You're always looking back Over and over and over You're always looking back
