He shuts the door it locks behind
He checks his watch a third past nine
He thinks to himself "Im 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 wont go, but 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 wont 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 wont go, they'll both know
they're under the same sky in the same lifetime
