Don't look back
Leo Sayer Lyrics

Some people terrified of spiders and snakes
Some people have irrational fears of creatures such as spiders and snakes

Ladders and space – oh what a waste
Some people are even afraid of things like ladders and space, which limits their experiences in life

Some people never climb over the wall
Some people are held back by their own self-doubts and never take risks or attempt to achieve their goals

Think they're too small and hide their face
They believe they are not capable or worthy, and as a result, they shy away from challenges and opportunities

Some people live their life under glass
Some people avoid taking risks, and as a result, their life is stagnant and unfulfilling

Stay in their past – sit on their ass
They live in the past, holding onto regret and missed opportunities, and as a result, they do not take action to improve their life

I'm here to tell you that life is a gas
The singer wants to encourage listeners that life is an exciting and enjoyable experience

Tomorrow's a blast so don't look back
Don't dwell on the past, focus on the future and the exciting opportunities it holds

So come on 'n pick it up
Encouragement to take action and move forward

Throw some coffee in that dirty 'ol cup
Start your day by taking care of yourself and getting energized

Eyes on the prize – re-energise
Focus on your goals and re-energize yourself to achieve them

There's another party waiting to use your sky
There are people and opportunities waiting for you to soar and achieve your full potential

Push your legs into a new pair of shoes
Take action and start something new that will help you grow and achieve your goals

Don't stop you'll only get the loser's blues
If you stop or give up, you will feel like a failure and miss out on opportunities to achieve success

Out there somebody's waiting on you
There are people who need your help or expertise, don't let your fears or self-doubts hold you back

To reach out and throw 'em some slack
Help others by sharing your knowledge or lending a hand, be generous and supportive

Behind everyone lies a mistake
Everyone makes mistakes and has regrets, it's a natural part of life

A terrible place – a bad break
Mistakes can lead to difficult situations or unfortunate circumstances

You can't remember every bug that you killed
Don't hold onto past mistakes or regrets, acknowledge them and move forward

Every bottle you spilled – each swallowed pill
Don't dwell on things you cannot change, focus on what you can do to make a positive impact moving forward

I like to think I got no enemies
The singer holds no ill will towards anyone and prefers to focus on the positive aspects of life

Yet here comes someone with a knife in his teeth
Despite the positive outlook, the singer acknowledges that negative people and situations can still arise

Telling everyone he's a looking for me
Someone may be trying to cause harm or start conflict with the singer

For something or other I done – oh boy
The singer may have made mistakes or taken actions that upset this person, leading to their anger towards him

I get up and I run
The singer refuses to give in to fear or intimidation and takes action to protect himself

Dodge every bullet from the "your guilty" gun
The angry person may be trying to blame or accuse the singer, but he avoids this negativity and remains focused on moving forward

I paid the price – had my fun
The singer acknowledges that he has made mistakes in the past, but he's learned from them and enjoyed his life along the way

Committed my sins – I lied to my mum
The singer has done things he's not proud of, but he's not going to let them hold him back from achieving his goals

I keep my head above this watery grave
The singer remains positive and determined in the face of difficult or challenging circumstances

Keep my eyes on the prize – pretend I'm brave
He stays focused on his goals and tries to be courageous even when he may feel afraid or uncertain

One thing I 'aint is nobody's slave
The singer is independent and refuses to be held back by anyone or anything

I watch my front and my back (Don't look back)
He remains vigilant and aware of his surroundings, but he doesn't let fear of the past or future hold him back
