He shuts the door, it locks behind
He checks his watch a third past nine
He thinks to himself, 'I'm late again'

He climbs the stairs, he takes his time
Then all at once, the door swings wide
To his new life

Wonder if tomorrow, he won't go they'll both know
They're under the same sky in the same life

She said, 'Go forward, you can't wait for this'
Walking backwards never gets one far
She said, 'Go forward, you can't wait for this'

Summer came and went so fast
The leaves all changed and after that
Fell blankets of snow

He lies in bed and paints her ceiling
Half asleep but barely dreaming
Beside him she sleeps

Wonder if tomorrow, he won't go they'll both know
They're under the same sky in the same life

She said, 'Go forward, you can't wait for this'
Walking backwards never gets one far
She said, 'Go forward, you can't wait for this'
Walking backwards never gets one very far

Wonder if tomorrow, he won't go they'll both know
They're under the same sky in the same life time
