lyrics

"THE PAST"
Written By: CharliZero

(Verse 1)
Walking with the shadow of dust behind me,
I can see so clearly now
Being alone, being alone, being alone....
Being alone is oh so lonely,
But I can't get over how
The world just seems so backwards?

(Pre- Hook)
Looking at the clock as the time rolls by
And we just fast forward
But we can't rewind
And we can't take back
What we left behind,
It's blinding.
TIme is relative
When you're on a nice date
And an hours like a minute
When you're burning in flames
Then a minute's like an hour
And an hour's like a day,
It's blinding.

(Hook)
We can't change what we've done
We can't dwell on the past
We can only go moving forward
What's the point in turning back?
Turning back? no
That's the past

(Verse 2)
Running with ghosts of the past
On my tail
Kicking rocks as I've begun
I'm running faster and faster and faster
See Florence*
Said that you could never dance
With this Devil on your back
I'm running,
Faster and faster

(Hook)
We can't change what we've done
We can't dwell on the past
We can only go moving forward
What's the point in turning back
Turning back, no
That's the past
