Lyrics
Sometimes it's perfect, but you don't even know
Sometimes it's wonderful, but you still wind up letting it go
Sometimes you're blinded by the truth staring back at you
Sometimes it's hard to accept all that you know that is true
Then the pain collides, and the time didn't side
Pries open your eyes to a face you don't recognize
And in that moment of zen, you add up all that you've been
And the drop in the bucket starts to run out again
You can't go back, you can't go, no you can't go back
But you can't stop looking back, oh no, you can't stop looking back
So you reach your epiphany, and in your moment of clarity
All you thought was a victory, don't leave much of a legacy
And you lay waiting patiently, for a sign of finality
And you learn from the memory, oh God it's such a beautiful tragedy
Then the pain collides, and dying inside
Pries open your eyes to a face you don't recognize
And in that moment of zen, you add up all that you've been
And the drop in the bucket starts to run out again
You can't go back, you can't go, no you can't go back
But you can't stop looking back, oh no, you can't stop looking back
You can't go back, you can't go, no you can't go back
But you can't stop looking back, oh no, you can't stop looking back
Oh God, You can't stop looking back
