The Backbone Songtext

The Backbone Songtext
This is the water
That washed my tiny fingers,
A long time ago.
This is the wisdom
My younger heart believed in,
A long time ago.
Now I see
This is not the real world.
Now I see
We′re far behind.
Now I see
The road is even longer.
Now I see
The troubles that I faced
Are replaced with lack of words.
Places I loved before,
Now filled with big buildings.
I see these walls
In black and white,
They steal my thoughts
And make me forget things.
All I ever wanted was to know,
To understand.
Look away,
The place you love
Is never coming back.
All I ever wanted was to know,
To understand.
That washed my tiny fingers,
A long time ago.
This is the wisdom
My younger heart believed in,
A long time ago.
Now I see
This is not the real world.
Now I see
We′re far behind.
Now I see
The road is even longer.
Now I see
The troubles that I faced
Are replaced with lack of words.
Places I loved before,
Now filled with big buildings.
I see these walls
In black and white,
They steal my thoughts
And make me forget things.
All I ever wanted was to know,
To understand.
Look away,
The place you love
Is never coming back.
All I ever wanted was to know,
To understand.
