Back Thens Lyrics

I fill my days with quick glances at my watch

Half break my neck looking over my shoulder

They stick around always laughing as they talk

At this rate I will never get much older

I live my life like I'm running out of time

I live my life like I'm running out of time

I live my life like I'm running out of time

You'll have to keep up

No you can't slow down

I live my life like I'm running out of time

I live my life like I'm running out of time

I live my life like I'm running out of time

You'll have to keep up

Because while I'm busy running myself after you

My shadows they are catching up right on cue

They're my "back thens"

They're my "has beens"

My something I don't want anymore

Because while I'm tryna figure out what to do

My mistakes find a way to creep right on through

I wanna forget all my regrets

But how will I know

What was it all for?

So buried in the past, I rolled right into your arms

You caught me with your smile and your charm

Like a virus I infect everything that you hold dear

My feet are moving but only get so far

I live my life like I'm running out of time

I live my life like I'm running out of time

I live my life like I'm running out of time

You'll have to keep up

No you can't slow down

I live my life like I'm running out of time

I live my life like I'm running out of time

I live my life like I'm running out of time

You'll have to keep up

Because while I'm busy running myself after you

My shadows they are catching up right on cue

They're my "back thens"

They're my "has beens"

My something I don't want anymore

Because while I'm tryna figure out what to do

My mistakes find a way to creep right on through

I wanna forget all my regrets

But how will I know

What was it all for?

Haven't you heard that people never change?

I'm not talking 'bout them

I'm not talking 'bout you

Haven't you heard that people never change?

I'm not talking 'bout them

I'm not talking 'bout you

Haven't you heard that people never change?

I'm not talking 'bout them

I'm not talking 'bout you

Haven't you heard that people never change?

I'm not talking 'bout them

Because while I'm busy running myself after you

My shadows they are catching up right on cue

They're my "back thens"

They're my "has beens"

My something I don't want anymore

Because while I'm tryna figure out what to do

My mistakes find a way to creep right on through

I wanna forget all my regrets

My something that I ran from before

Because while I'm tryna figure out what to do

My mistakes find a way to creep right on through

I wanna forget all my regrets

But how will I know

What was it all for?
