Back and Forth by The New Age (Band) Lyrics
Your twisted words, my missing temper
And only God knows where you've been
It's never enough
You try what's right
Then we fight
You call me names and I call you out
In this broken house till you're broken down
And we're broke but how?
How did we get here?
Was it his fault?
Did your heart halt when it broke in two
And your words slipped and they're choking you?
We had it better when we had our eyes closed
But I would rather be aware
Yeah, I would rather be aware
Throw me over the edge
So we can break it into a million pieces
I said I wish I was dead
So show me the door
Back and forth
(Back and forth)
My dim-lit room
When I try to sleep in it
You open up my door and
I wish I had somewhere to go
But it's my fault that we're here
I spent all the money and I bought all the tears
I tear these walls up
And you feed my bloodlust
You scream in my ear
I scream back, you hit back
We throw blows till we feel like we're nothing but a tightrope
And it snaps and please
We had it better when we had our eyes closed
But I would rather be aware
Yeah, I would rather be aware
Throw me over the edge
So we can break it into a million pieces
I said I wish I was dead
So show me the door
Back and...
You feel bad to be yourself
You say I don't know what's wrong
Can you make it go away?
'Cause I'm a hazard to my health
And everyone else around me stood their ground
I don't know, it's astounding
This pain I found
Make it go away
Make it go away
(Throw me over the edge)
Throw me over the edge
So we can break it into a million pieces
I said I wish I was dead
So show me the door
Back and forth
Back and forth
And only God knows where you've been
It's never enough
You try what's right
Then we fight
You call me names and I call you out
In this broken house till you're broken down
And we're broke but how?
How did we get here?
Was it his fault?
Did your heart halt when it broke in two
And your words slipped and they're choking you?
We had it better when we had our eyes closed
But I would rather be aware
Yeah, I would rather be aware
Throw me over the edge
So we can break it into a million pieces
I said I wish I was dead
So show me the door
Back and forth
(Back and forth)
My dim-lit room
When I try to sleep in it
You open up my door and
I wish I had somewhere to go
But it's my fault that we're here
I spent all the money and I bought all the tears
I tear these walls up
And you feed my bloodlust
You scream in my ear
I scream back, you hit back
We throw blows till we feel like we're nothing but a tightrope
And it snaps and please
We had it better when we had our eyes closed
But I would rather be aware
Yeah, I would rather be aware
Throw me over the edge
So we can break it into a million pieces
I said I wish I was dead
So show me the door
Back and...
You feel bad to be yourself
You say I don't know what's wrong
Can you make it go away?
'Cause I'm a hazard to my health
And everyone else around me stood their ground
I don't know, it's astounding
This pain I found
Make it go away
Make it go away
(Throw me over the edge)
Throw me over the edge
So we can break it into a million pieces
I said I wish I was dead
So show me the door
Back and forth
Back and forth
