Never Go Back
Chasing Shadows: Embracing Change and Moving Forward
Lyrics
I took a drive back to the places I used to ride
I revisited the locations where I used to go.
Hoping to find what I'd left had never died
Hoping to rediscover something I had left behind and thought was still alive.
That the feelings they gave me were still alive
I wished that the emotions those places evoked in me were still vibrant.
I know that I shouldn't be looking back all the time
Although I know I shouldn't, I often dwell on the past.
But these same stories repeat in my mind
Memories of those times keep replaying in my mind.
And I just couldn't shake their call tonight
Tonight, I couldn't resist their allure.
See something in the past keeps holding me in place
The past has a hold on me, preventing me from moving forward.
I'm running in circles, still chasing my old ways
I'm stuck in repetitive patterns, chasing my previous behaviors.
Wishing I could be somewhere behind me
I wish I could be in a different place mentally.
But life goes on down a one-way track
Life progresses in one direction.
When will I learn I can never go back
I haven't yet realized that I can't return to the past.
Those days are gone and I should face that fact
I acknowledge that those times are over and I need to accept that.
When will I learn I can never go back
I still haven't fully grasped that I can't go back.
I wish I could carve my name into these streets
I wish I could leave a lasting mark on these streets as a symbol of my connection to them.
Because my heart's still buried somewhere deep inside them
My emotional attachment remains deeply rooted within these streets.
And I can hear its beating cry
I can sense the strong emotional pull from these places.
And all the old lines are coming back to me
Old memories and experiences are flooding back to me.
They'll be the only words that I will want to speak tonight
Those memories are the only ones I want to recall tonight.
Well is there nothing more that I would find?
I wonder if there's nothing else that can captivate me.
But life goes on down a one-way track
Life continues moving forward in a singular direction.
When will I learn I can never go back
I haven't internalized the lesson that I can't relive the past.
Those days are gone and I should face that fact
Acknowledging that those moments are gone and I must confront that reality.
When will I learn I can never go back
I'm still struggling to understand that I can't go back.
But life goes on down a one-way track
Life relentlessly moves forward without the option to return.
When will I learn I can never go back
I have yet to fully comprehend that I can't revisit the past.
Those days are gone and I should face that fact
Acknowledging that those times are past and I must accept that truth.
When will I learn I can never go back?
I am still grappling with the concept that I cannot go back.
