Can’t Go Back

[Verse 1]
Moonlight shattered on this stretch of sea
How many times I've stood here mapping things out differently
But I can't go back (Can't go back, can't go back)
No, I can't go back (Can't go back, can't go back)

[Verse 2]
Cross the road and run back to the town
How many times I've run this way and how it runs me down
But I can't go back (Can't go back, can't go back)
No, I can't go back (Can't go back, can't go back)

[Chorus 1]
Well my heart is speeding and the days go by
And my hands are bleeding, nobody wonders why
And all it's earned me since that day
Well, I might just give it away

[Refrain]
But I can't go back (Can't go back, can't go back)
No, I can't go back (Can't go back, can't go back)

[Verse 3]
We held our fortunes in a paper cup
How many drops drip-dripped away until it dried me up
But I can't go back (Can't go back, can't go back)
No, I can't go back (Can't go back, can't go back)

[Chorus 2]
Well, the stars are burning and the days go by
And the world keeps turning, I don't wonder why
And every good thing since that day
Well, I might just give it away

[Refrain]
But I can't go back (Can't go back, can't go back)
No, I can't go back (Can't go back, can't go back)

[Verse 4]
Moonlight shattered on this stretch of sea
How many times I've stood here mapping how it shattered me
But I can't go back (Can't go back, can't go back)
No, I can't go back (Can't go back, can't go back)
