Back and forth we go again
Are we lovers or are we friends
You're a merry-go-round that always spins
But you keep jumpin' off and back on again
Oh and our seconds keep on tickin' by and by
Oh yeah our seconds keep on tickin' by and by
And back and forth we always swing
Can't be always stuck on the end of your string
You're a beautiful song that you never sing
You don't think anyone is listening
Oh and our seconds keep on tickin' by and by
Oh yeah our seconds keep on tickin' by and by
So maybe it's time for you to make up your mind
Moving forward with you it feels like falling behind
Oh, ignorance is not innocence
I don't know how much I can take
Before a little bit of your heart
Becomes a lot of too late
Yeah, a little bit of your heart is just a lot of too late
And back and forth you say we're doing just fine
But you're just waiting on your peace of mind
Your rose-colored glasses are losing their shine
You're trying to get what's yours but do you care about mine?
Oh and our seconds keep on tickin' by and by
Oh yeah our seconds keep on tickin' by and by
So maybe it's time for you to make up your mind
Moving forward with you it feels like falling behind
Oh, ignorance is not innocence
I don't know how much I can take
Before a little bit of your heart
Is just a lot of too late
Yeah, a little bit of your heart is just a lot of too late
Are you looking for someone to fill that space?
You say it's love but maybe it's the love of the chase
Someday I'll find someone to take your place
But for now I'm out of the runnin'
I'm losing this race
So maybe it's time for you to make up your mind
Moving forward with you it feels like falling behind
Oh, ignorance is not innocence
I don't know how much I can take
Before a little bit of your heart
Becomes a lot of too late
Yeah, a little bit of your heart is just a lot of too late
Yeah, a little bit of your heart is just a lot of too late"
