Looking Back (feat. K'naan)

You're living in a place you left behind

Goin' round in circles all the time

Can see the way your head, it's like your blind

So open your eyes in time

Realign just what you got

With what you nearly had and what you want

You fall asleep and then the moment's gone

So open your eyes in time

Yeah, it's hard to undo time

Hard to separate my past from my rhyme

'Cause how could you separate milk from lime?

Waste my time

Looking back

You always seem to be looking back

Feels like your mind's always somewhere else

You're always looking over your shoulder

Think of all the places you could never be

Beauty in the faces that you never see

As you lie there, sleeping

How the moment flies

So open your eyes in time

Yeah, they say life makes sense backwards

Only you've got to live it forward

Don't waste your time, no

Don't waste your time just looking back

You always seem to be looking back

Feels like your mind's always somewhere else

You're always looking over your shoulder

Looking back

You always seem to be looking back

Feels like your mind's always somewhere else

You're always looking over your shoulder

Am I the only one tryin' to fight off an army?

Of memories dressed up, all tryna harm me

I feel cocky, runnin' up the steps like Rocky

Until the past come flashin' like paparazzi

Nothing is new, so I open my folder

My favorite view is over my shoulder

Everything backwards is my plight

It's landing first when in my flight

Even my tears run up my cheeks

Back in my eye, live, I die

Don't waste your time just looking back

You always seem to be looking back

Feels like your mind's always somewhere else

You're always looking over your shoulder

You always seem to be looking back

Feels like your mind's always somewhere else

You're always looking over your shoulder

You're always looking back

Over and over and over

You're always looking back
