shadows moving children coupling
and i was stranded by myself
and i wanted to be saved

and in the roughest way
in a backyard at a party
leaving last or first or just stayed at home

where a sea of eyes was left behind
and a sea of hands couldn't reach
and that's why i don't

i don't keep a record
because there's too much looking back as it is
and if i do it on occasion

well then the saddest thing's not what you felt
but just how much you felt it
backward leaning lonely passion

and a drink once more in my hand
and a drink is all it takes
to forget my age

and that's why i don't
i don't keep a record
because there's too much looking back as it is

and if i do it on occasion
well then the saddest thing's not what you felt
but just how much you felt it

and once you go back it's on top of you
and then that's you again
