Don’t Look Back
She & Him Lyrics

Orpheus melted the heart of Persephone,
Someone else managed to win over someone's heart, but I couldn't do the same with yours.

But I never had yours
I never managed to win over your heart.

I followed you back to the end of the path,
I went with you to the very end of something.

But I never found the door
But I never found a way to enter or access what was at the end of it.

And you can work to save your love
You have to put effort into preserving your love.

You can bear it from the earth below
You can endure it even if it feels like a heavy burden.

You can work but you can't let go
You can put in effort, but you can't let go of what you're holding onto.

Oh, oh but you have to know
But you need to understand something important.

Don't look back all you'll ever get
If you look back, you won't get anything more than what has already been left behind.

Is the dust from the steps before
All you'll see is remnants of what has already happened.

I don't have to see you every day,
I don't need to see you all the time.

But I just want to know you're there
I just want assurance that you still exist and that you're still in my life.

Quietly took to the dark of the day
I retreated to a quiet, dark place during the daytime.

And the hiss of the summer night
And in the sound of the summer night, the only thing I could hear was a faint noise.

The heat of the breeze was a cell block wall
The oppressive summer heat felt like a barrier preventing me from escaping.

And when I looked you were out of sight
And when I turned to look, you had disappeared from view.
