We Said We Wouldn’t Look Back

[Verse 1]
I work in day like any other
And i'm finding memories of something that went before
And here i am, lacking a sense of humour
Or something to give and take
And there's no return
Stick to the basics boy
Grow up, and settle down
Most people do it
Don't stop it

[Refrain]
We said we wouldn't look back
We said we wouldn't look back

[Verse 2]
When things go well
When they become blind
And unconscious to what it means
You feel anything could happen to you
The night before the dead blind falls
Time permits a last kiss

[Refrain]
But we said we wouldn't look back
But we said we wouldn't look back

[Verse 3]
I know you're confused by it all
Looking out in the darkness
Down the street where you live
Night after night, year after year
It never worked out, all things come to an end
What's wrong with that

[Refrain]
We said we would never look back

[Verse 4]
Non stop taxis on the town tonight
One dimension or so, no mood or emotion
Staying up late, feeling good
Put it in your mouth, and swallow it down
Perfect partners in the perfect dance
No one gets inside of us
We have a spirit now
And nothing could break it

[Refrain]
We said we wouldn't look back

[Verse 5]
I'm here to entertain like a voice of an actress
We've heard and seen before and forgotten how many times
So each song lasts each song dies
High life, the jazz, nothing deep
Short songs, love songs, stupid songs
Something about the rain
Just Something to do
Everyone knows you need something to do
Have you heard the news?
They've taken all my uniforms
But hope springs eternal

[Refrain]
We said we wouldn't look back
We said we wouldn't look back
