Back And Forth
Sarantos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As the story unfolds, as the darkness draws near
My heart starts feeling so hollow
And it cries out in fear
The night surrounds me, its emptiness divides me
As I look for the answers, I try hard to find the questions
But my heart won't let me think
Back and forth
Back and forth I go, never right or wrong
My mood changes so quickly
As my heart beats endlessly
Back and forth
Back and forth I go, never wrong or right
My mind changes so quickly
& my mood swings carelessly
It never felt this good, it never felt this right
As the story goes on, so does the fight
Looking back on this day, the battle was won
Nothing left to say, I can't help but feel this way
Back and forth
Back and forth I go, never right or wrong
My mood changes so quickly
As my heart beats endlessly
Back and forth
Back and forth I go, never wrong or right
Especially tonight
So back and forth I go
Back and forth
Back and forth I go, never right or wrong
My mood changes so quickly
As my heart beats endlessly
Back and forth
Back and forth I go, never wrong or right
Especially tonight
So back and forth I go
