lyrics

Do you ever wonder
Why we give a thought
To past or to future
When all that we’ve got
Is present
And we’re missing quite a lot

What could have been
What should have been
What might have been
What will have been
Oh no,
There’s really only what there is
And you don’t get to
Go and take it back my friend

You said the wrong thing
Didn’t say enough
You acted too funny
You acted too tough
Well being
A human being is rough

The conversation
That plays in your head
Won’t go down like that
What will happen instead
Is you’ll do
Just exactly what you did
To avoid it, you’d have to go off of the grid

Is it a sin
Or some human fault
We flee from a city
Then get turned into salt
Well I guess,
I guess that’s just our lot

Retracing steps
Already made
Or counting up money
Before we get paid
Just look
Look how far we’ve gone and strayed
Into a cycle
Of past and future-retrograde

We’re running forward
We’re looking back

Life’s a game
And we play the odds
We call it random
Then blame the gods
When we know that correlation’s not a cause

But living is blues
I’ve worked that out
Cause we’ve got to have something
To sing about
We’ve got to have something to sing or shout
While we’re on this temporary roundabout

We’re looking forward
We’re running back
