Looking Back for the Best Songtext
von Barton Hartshorn

I was born in a lightning age
Curled my fist in a cartoon rage
Had to sing what I could not say
Learnt to kiss from a radio play

Careless me I was moving forwards
And looking back for the best
What did I miss
I can only guess

Made a pledge on the longest day
My mistakes would be custom made
Saw you undress through a window pane
When you called me I turned away


Careless me I was moving forwards
Never taking what I was offered
Careless me I was moving forwards
And looking back for the best
What did I miss
I can only guess at what I missed

Don′t follow me
Don't follow my lead, no

Careless me I was moving forwards
Through the days that were growing shorter
Careless me I was moving forwards
Never taking what I was offered
Careless me I was moving forwards
And looking back for the best
What did I miss
I can only guess
At what I missed
