Forward in Reverse

Let’s pause to breathe

Because moving at light speed

We can forget we are alive

Can’t sleep at night

Dreaming with eyes wide

Walking on the edge of a knife

And I wanted to tell you

And I wanted to turn back time

But I can’t rewind

Life moves so fast

But some minutes will not last

While hoping to save the best for last

And I wanted to hold you

Wanted to find a bright quiet place

Where I could see your face

Will I see the day

Will I see the dawn again

Rising from the dead

A high price to pay

For a heart too torn to mend

Til the light of day

We will find a way to hold on
