Back & Forth

Eyes on the wall
And in a deep stare, it takes me back into those cavernous falls
Of fire and ice
With the snow filled gem on the path
That we found there by surprise

A man on a black sand beach
And he rubs my eyes with tectonic dirt
But I’m still caught up in my fixation
Of things I think I’ll never deserve

When part of my head just wants the fire
Part of my head just needs some warmth
And why do I keep these weird desires
Pulling my conscience back and forth?
Will I spend my whole life in the indecision
My mind always stuck on the other side?
Pacing my steps, now I’m going nowhere
Throw up my thoughts to the power lines
They’re falling back and forth

Eyes on the floor
And in a deep stare, it takes me back into a scene I adore
Paris in spring
With the hotel soap in my eyes
I scrubbed it off as I sang
“How do I beat this, how do I win?”
As you came up by the stairs
You said that melody makes you cry
There’s no use in the amount you prepare

When part of my head just wants the fire
Part of my head just needs some warmth
Why do I keep these weird desires
Pulling my conscience back and forth?
Will I spend my whole life in the indecision
My mind always stuck on a better time?
Pacing my steps, now I’m going nowhere
The hourglass shaking inside my mind
It’s going back and forth
It’s going back and forth
