He shuts the door, it locks behind
He checks his watch, a third past nine
He thinks to himself, «I'm late again…»
He climbs the steps, he takes his time
Then all at once, the door swings wide to his new life
Wonder if tomorrow he won’t go, they’ll both know
They’re under the same sky in the same life
She said, «Go forward, you can’t wait for this.»
Walking backwards never gets one far
She said, «Go forward, you can’t wait for this.»
Summer came and went so fast
The leaves all changed, and after that
Fell blankets of snow
He lies in bed and paints her ceiling
Half asleep but barely dreaming
Besides him, she sleeps
Wonder if tomorrow he won’t go, they’ll both know
They’re under the same sky in the same life…
She said, «Go forward you can’t wait for this»
Walking backwards never gets one far
She said, «Go forward you can’t wait for this»
Walking backwards never gets one very far
Wonder if tomorrow he won’t go, they’ll both know
They’re under the same sky in the same lifetime
