Lyrics

Can't Turn Back This Life

Emotions running high
Down empty streets and alleyways
I'm walking
I keep on talking
But you can't hear me anyway tonight

Dusk turns on the lights
I see my life's reflections
In the windows
In the puddles
In the things I never tried

But you can't run counter clockwise
To the moon
You can't be young and still be wise
Too soon
You can't fly backwards in the night
And you can't turn back this life

Emotions on the rise
These corner stores and sad cafes
Are sleeping
I keep on calling
But I can't reach you anyway tonight

I'm still a thousand miles behind you
I've never been this far
Never felt this way

I see your eyes
I see your hair
I see your face
In the murals
In the smiles
In the dreams I can't erase

But you can't run counter clockwise
To the moon
You can't be young and still be wise
Too soon
You can't fly backwards in the night
And you can't turn back this life

I'm coming home
I'm on a plane
I need to see you once again
Don't close your eyes
I'm on my way tonight
