Backwards
Observer Drift Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Does it feel like it is getting cold in here?
maybe we should light a fire or go outside and feel the sun
The waves are nice the waters warm kick off your shoes and lets run
the ocean calls us with its tempo of waves against the sea wall

Don't forget now

Don't forget your home town and people that you left behind.
send a postcard in the mail to me, sometime
dont tell me to leave the past. I am right where I want to be.
I cannot resist the call. By the waves I will not leave, because...





I dont have to keep my eyes on you.
