I know I'm not a lost cause yet
I know I've got a ways still to go
They say it's peaceful in the dark
I'm at my worst, my lowest mark
No one around to talk me down

Great pretender, who is who
Try to turn your words too soon
I'll let you in quite easily
But if you listen carefully
I'm only as sure as I seem

Linking hands arm in arm
Here we are with our little house of cards
Just relying on chance to lay them right
Tell me through all the years
Did the meaning become the only goal
Linking hands arm in arm and multiply

We can't back
We can't back
We can't back
We can't back out

We can't back
We can't back
We can't back
We can't back out

It takes some guts to stick it out
I'm trying hard to not give way
There's a cloud so black it's lost
Behind the glass, reflected off
And so I wait for a break

Linking hands arm in arm
Here we are with our little house of cards
Just relying on chance to lay them right
Tell me through all the years
Did the meaning become the only goal
Linking hands arm in arm and multiply

We can't back
We can't back
We can't back
We can't back out

We can't back
We can't back
We can't back
We can't back out

We can't back
We can't back
We can't back
We can't back out

We can't back
We can't back
We can't back
We can't back out

We can't back
We can't back
We can't back
We can't back out

We can't back
We can't back
We can't back
We can't back out
