Every Time You Look Back Lyrics by Stephen & the Strangers

Uhn

2013

[Verse 1]
When I was 21
Thought I was done
I had some fun I thought

And then at 24
I changed some more
Walked out a door and thought back when

When I was fourteen years
I crossed a sea
Entered a plea
Then tried to flee
Met up with you
And came to see what's true

[Chorus]
You can't be more than your past
It's true that prelude is a pest
So you must blindly lead the rest of your life
Cause every time you look back you lie
You lie
You lie
You lie

[Verse 2]
I said I knew you when
I can't pretend to know much more

When I had met you
I had just been born
I coulda sworn that was the start

When I was sixteen years
I thought back when
I had some friends
Cherished a past
That couldn't last
That wouldn't do
That never flew
And wasn't true
Or so I thought I knew

[Chorus]
You can't be more than your past
It's true that prelude is a pest
So you must blindly lead the rest of your life
Cause every time you look back you lie
You lie
You lie
You lie
You lie
You lie

You can't be more than your past
It's true that prelude is a pest
So you must blindly lead the rest of your life
Cause every time you look back you lie
You lie
You lie
You lie
You lie
You lie
