Ahead, Behind

I hear people talking all the time

Telling lies, taking sides and plagiarizing lines

But my mind is in a place so far away

I don’t think I’ll be back again to answer them today

Don’t lose my love, don’t give it up

Don’t leave what’s ahead, behind

A neon sign is flashing vacancy

There’s shadows on the windows but there’s no one on the street And the door is always open to my heart

Just down the crooked hallway where the walls fall apart

Don’t lose my love, don’t give it up

Don’t leave what’s ahead, behind

I see it running backwards in your eyes

Those days without number that you thought would never die

But tomorrow’s not a hand that you can hold

I’ll be here when you find out what lovers can’t be told

Don’t lose my love, don’t give it up

Don’t leave what’s ahead, behind
