Then, we said goodbye
I heard the key when turned
Steps towards the door

I saw your suitcase glide
Your clothes, like letters, kerned
All that had been worn

Moving backwards
Brings you back to me
Shouldn’t have let you go

Yes, I saw you cry
The answers were all urned
I said I wasn’t sure

Then, you asked me why
As far as I'm concerned
We ain’t in sync no more

Moving backwards
Brings you back to me
Shouldn’t have let you go

Oh, hands of time
Why do you have to be so cruel?
If only you went five to nine
Then, I’d go back to what was through

Oh, sands of time
My heart lies buried in your tomb
If only I could go back in time
I know I blew it all, don’t you think?

We met inside the mall
Hello, that’s me, again
Yes, of course you could!

Can I give you a call?
Seen you round here, just when?
Nice to meet you too
Nice to meet you

Moving backwards
Brings you back to me
Shouldn’t have let you go

Dodging laggards
Wish I could be free
Like some time ago
