Back and Forth Lyrics

I'm afflicted

By the twists and turns and the red lights

And third degree burns

I hate that it hurts

I'm addicted

To the spills and thrills like a fun ride

Guess I never learn

Will I ever learn

Overwhelmed by the pains of a broken heart

Shards cutting through my soft flesh like a broken jar

Too much lyin' really leave an Uncle Scar

A reminder to remember who you are, but

Really it won't matter when you praying over struggle or you wishing on a star, 'cause

Life shorter than stubble when you watching from afar

Wish you knew the things that's broken me

Livin' lonely overseas

Granny gettin angel wings while I was out in Germany

Hardly got to say goodbye

In the corner of my room, I was crying out my eyes

But that river that was flowing couldn't wash up better times

In and out of situationships

Never smelled the flowers, but trauma make you take a whiff

All that sorrow in the kitchen didn't know what I should make of it

A penny for your thoughts will have you praying you can make a wish

Praying you could make a list

And redo all of things that you were saying you would make of this

I'm afflicted

By the twists and turns and the red lights

And third degree burns

I hate that it hurts

I'm addicted

To the spills and thrills like a fun ride

Guess I never learn

Will I ever learn

I feel a need to be free from pain

And it's following me like change

I just wanna be loved

I don't wanna be stuck

But life's pulling me back and forth

When she want you outer space man the feeling's astronomical

She begged me first to stay but still I called an audible

You can plan it for the future, but I'd rather that you astronaut

I'm stuck up in the orbit of these toxic thoughts

I want you back like Mike Jack 'cause I remember all the times, but

I left you behind so you wouldn't drown

'Cause this ship is only built for one, when it's going down, my rose

You can't pedal with me down this road, 'cause

Love is lost in the crevices of a broken soul

I been asking for a sign but a sign to you is not a sign to me

And the reigns of this storm are not assigned to me

I'm afflicted by the burns of the third degree

The well is running dry so here no wellness lives

There's no more tears that I can cry, just some love to give

I die a little more inside every time I skid

I let the fire light the sky from every burning bridge

I'm afflicted

By the twists and turns and the red lights

And third degree burns

I hate that it hurts

I'm addicted

To the spills and thrills like a fun ride

Guess I never learn

Will I ever learn

I feel a need to be free from pain

And it's following me like change

I just wanna be loved

I don't wanna be stuck

But life's pulling me back and forth

I'm afflicted

By the twists and turns and the red lights

And third degree burns

I hate that it hurts

I'm addicted

To the spills and thrills like a fun ride

Guess I never learn

Will I ever learn

I feel a need to be free from pain

And it's following me like change

I just wanna be loved

I don't wanna be stuck

But life's pulling me back and forth
