Back to Life Lyrics

New life starts today

Times of old are thrown away

Welcome to tomorrow my friend

Looking back means nothing

No, nothing can change the end

Of what has already been created

I'll just learn to hide

Behind someone else's eyes

I'm trying so hard to be

Who I thought you would notice

The flaming bridge we set between

Will give way before too long

We can't keep reliving the day

Where we made that mistake

And try to take that pain away

Because it keeps us alive

We can't look down while looking up

We can't undo what we have done

But it will be our own dumb luck

That brings the dead back to life

Walking to my room

The air still thick with your perfume

I need to step outside

I'll smoke on the memories of you

And in the ashes, I will hide

From the light shine through the trees

We can't keep reliving the day

Where we made that mistake

And try to take that pain away

Because it keeps us alive

We can't look down while looking up

We can't undo what we have done

But it will be our own dumb luck

That brings the dead back to life

Take me from this place

My present form is what I can't shake

My bags are packed to leave

Though I know it hurt before

I'm damn sure it's what's best for me

To journey on with you

We can't keep reliving the day

Where we made that mistake

And try to take that pain away

Because it keeps us alive

We can't look down while looking up

We can't undo what we have done

But it will be our own dumb luck

That brings the dead back to life
