He shuts the door, it locks behind
He checks his watch a third past nine
He thinks to himself, "I'm late again"He climbs the stairs, he takes his time
Then all at once, the door swings wide
To his new lifeWonder if tomorrow, he won't go they'll both know
They're under the same sky in the same lifeShe said, "Go forward, you can't wait for this"
Walking backwards never gets one far
She said, "Go forward, you can't wait for this"Summer came and went so fast
The leaves all changed and after that
Fell blankets of snowHe lies in bed and paints her ceiling
Half asleep but barely dreaming
Beside him she sleepsWonder if tomorrow, he won't go they'll both know
They're under the same sky in the same lifeShe said, "Go forward, you can't wait for this"
Walking backwards never gets one far
She said, "Go forward, you can't wait for this"
Walking backwards never gets one very farWonder if tomorrow, he won't go they'll both know
They're under the same sky in the same life time
