Lyrics: Glen Hansard/Markéta Irglová
Music: Glen Hansard/Markéta Irglová
My love, can we go backwards
Back to the days before the going got rough?
I know there's no going back now
I tried to move on
But I got stuck in reverse
So go, there's a world of changes
So many bridges still to get over
Rubicons still to cross
And I'll be picking up the pieces
Long after you left, and
Long after you're gone
I know there's no getting over this, try as I must
I drink to forget, it only makes it worse
Can we go backwards
Back to the days before the wheels came off?
I know there's no going back now
I tried to move forward, but I'm stuck in reverse
I see the little lights go changing green to orange
Every time you say "That's enough!"
Clouds come gathering and the sky starts falling
You're jamming up the circuits
There's water in the wires
My love, can we go backwards
Back to the days before the wheels came off?
I know there's no going back now
I tried to move on, but I got stuck in reverse
So go, there's a world worth seeing
So many doors just waiting to open up and greet you
So go with good wishes and my blessings
Take it as you find it
You're free now as a bird, go on!
I know I'll get over this, try and I must
I'm not looking down
No, I'm not pushing my luck
Can we go backwards
Back to the days before the wheels came off?
I know there's no going back now
I tried to move on, but I got stuck in reverse
