Looking Back Lyrics by Patrick Murphy

Half The Story - EP

0

[Intro]
Lookin' back, lookin' back
Lookin' back, lookin' back

[Verse 1]
The suits were hot, ties were tight
Still hungover, me and the guys
But you can't tell in that small-town-wedding
Church-step photograph
This one here's on Pickerel Lake
We were drunk by noon, surfin' the wake
Before gettin' caught in a downpour rain
With an empty tank of gas

[Pre-Chorus]
The snapshots don't tell half the story
Some just fade and some are days of glory, mm

[Chorus]
But lookin' back at the past
All the memories that you have
Some are good and some arе bad
Some make you cry, some makе you laugh
Some take your heart and tear it up
Some make you smile just because
Some people say don't live in the past
But some of the best views, the best views are lookin' back

[Bridge]
We drove all night on no sleep
The view was bad, the room was cheap
But love was new and it was magic
This five-by-seven proves we had it
In the palm of our hands
But she fell through like the white sand
That we were standin' on
And now she's gone (Now she's gone)

[Chorus]
But lookin' back at the past
All the memories that you have
Some are good and some are bad
Some make you cry, some make you laugh
Some take your heart and tear it up
Some make you smile just because
Some people say don't live in the past
But some of the best views, the best views are lookin' back

[Bridge]
(Off the back of a boat)
Lookin' back (At where time goes)
Before you know it
We'll be lookin' back on tomorrow

[Chorus]
Lookin' back at the past
All the memories that you have
Some are good and some are bad
Some make you cry, some make you laugh
Some take your heart and tear it up
Some make you smile just because
Some people say don't live in the past
But some of the best views, the best views are lookin' back

[Outro]
Lookin' back
Lookin' back
Lookin' back
