Never Look Back
X-Marks the Pedwalk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm crawling on the ground to fall with you

And time is passing by

Never look back, don't forget

I could move in time on a place so fine
What I've never done don't want to set me free

I ask myself could I ever do what you said to me





So I now try to move for a race I will lose
