Back and forth we go again

Are we lovers or are we friends

You're a merry-go-round that always spins

But you keep jumpin' off and back on again

Oh and our seconds keep on tickin' by and by

Oh yeah our seconds keep on tickin' by and by

And back and forth we always swing

Can't be always stuck on the end of your string

You're a beautiful song that you never sing

You don't think anyone is listening

Oh and our seconds keep on tickin' by and by

Oh yeah our seconds keep on tickin' by and by

So maybe it's time for you to make up your mind

Moving forward with you it feels like falling behind

Oh, ignorance is not innocence

I don't know how much I can take

Before a little bit of your heart

becomes a lot of too late

Yeah, a little bit of your heart is just a lot of too late

And back and forth you say we're doing just fine

But you're just waiting on your peace of mind

Your rose-colored glasses are losing their shine

You're trying to get what's yours but do you care about mine?

Oh and our seconds keep on tickin' by and by

Oh yeah our seconds keep on tickin' by and by

So maybe it's time for you to make up your mind

Moving forward with you it feels like falling behind

Oh, ignorance is not innocence

I don't know how much I can take

Before a little bit of your heart

is just a lot of too late

Yeah, a little bit of your heart is just a lot of too late

Are you looking for someone to fill that space?

You say it's love but maybe it's the love of the chase

Someday I'll find someone to take your place

But for now I'm out of the runnin'

I'm losing this race

So maybe it's time for you to make up your mind

Moving forward with you it feels like falling behind

Oh, ignorance is not innocence

I don't know how much I can take

Before a little bit of your heart

becomes a lot of too late

Yeah, a little bit of your heart is just a lot of too late

Yeah, a little bit of your heart is just a lot of too late
