If one of us is the ocean
And if one of us is the moon
We haven’t found a pattern yet
Figured out who is pulling who

Turn the telescope back around
With these troubles out of view
Forgiveness does not excuse
It’s to prevent everybody from destroying you

Never turn around or look back

Before the matter was settled
Before there was a name for this
You were out dancing in traffic
Near miss
You thought you’d pulled it off
But everybody knew all along
If they ain’t pickin up on what you’re throwin down
Well, at least they got somethin to talk about

Never turn around or look back

Cut my ear with your pocket knife
I trust you with my eyes closed
I just need you to try, i don’t need you to know
Cause i’ve earned what i’ve been growin
I’m all about the day
When we cut it all off, where we throw it all away
Forgiveness does not excuse
It just prevents all of the others from destroying you

Never turn around or look back
