Walk
横山健 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Before I knew it I couldn't go back
So far, so good
I didn't wanna go back and
It was same day after day
I couldn't take big steps 'cause

I was truly scared
Gripping to the good old days
I knew that I had to begin for myself
But I knew that I needed to walk

You taught me all about joy
That was how, it begin
I lost so much and gained so much
Proof that I have grown so much in that time

Before I knew it I was on the right path
So far, so good
I could understand the way I was heading
My past layed out behind my back

I was not always along
But along I walk through this life with no one

Before I knew it I couldn't go back
So far, so good
I didn't wanna go back and
It was same day after day
I couldn't take big steps 'cause
I was truly scared
Gripping to the good old days
I could the way I was heading
My past lay understand ed out behind my back




I could the way I was heading
My past lay understand ed out behind my back
