From the recording Never Go Back

Lyrics

The streets I once knew
are strangers to me
The park where we laughed
is just history

Shadows of faces
echoes of names
Now nothing feels real
Like it’s all rearranged

I thought I’d find my future
waiting there
Told myself I was immune
And would not care

Never go back
it’s a lesson I’m learning
Some bridges you cross
Aren’t meant for returning
The place I held close
is lost in the cracks,
I guess that’s why they say
Never go back
Don’t you ever go back

The club has gone quiet
the bar’s been replaced

The house I grew up in
wears a stranger's face
The dreams I once dreamed
don’t exist anymore
I’m just a guest
in the place I knew before.

I thought I’d find my future
waiting there
Told myself I was immune
And would not care


Never go back
it’s a lesson I’m learning
Some bridges you cross
Aren’t meant for returning
The place I held close
is lost in the cracks,
I guess that’s why they say
Never go back
Don’t you ever go back


The years
have a way
of rewriting the page
Like the lines
of the actors
On an empty stage


Never go back
it’s a lesson I’m learning
Some bridges you cross
Aren’t meant for returning
The place I held close
is lost in the cracks,
I guess that’s why they say
Never go back
Don’t you ever go back

Never go back
it’s a lesson I’m learning
Some bridges you cross
Aren’t meant for returning
The place I held close
is lost in the cracks,
I guess that’s why they say
Never go back
Don’t you ever go back
