Can't Go Back Now

Has there ever been a song that touches you every time you hear it? "Can't Go Back Now" by The Weepies does it for me. and yes - every single time. It means something new each time as well.

The lyrics:

Yesterday, when you were young,
Everything you needed done was done for you.
Now you do it on your own
But you find you're all alone,
What can you do?

You and me walk on
Cause you can't go back now.

You know there will be days when you're so tired that you can't take another step,
The night will have no stars and you'll think you've gone as far as you will ever get

But you and me walk on
Cause you can't go back now
And yeah, yeah, go where you want to go
Be what you want to be,
If you ever turn around, you'll see me.

I can't really say why everybody wishes they were somewhere else
But in the end, the only steps that matter are the ones you take all by yourself

And you and me walk on
Yeah you and me walk on
Cause you can't go back now
Walk on, walk on, walk on
You can't go back now

miracles hit
jolting the heart
see dragonfly blue
over sun-fired pond.
it startles to waking
with refreshing reprieve --
Grace!
comes in fountains
to water,
bide trial,
and reach.

memory spins like a pinwheel;
colors stream, in spite of
grip on cool reality.
and - for such love and pain
darkness and glory -
I cannot, I cannot keep
heart from breaking.
I could not hold them, they fell
through cracks in this old
wooden floor of my soul. I
could not say - how could I say -
how can we find the right words to say??
how beautiful are souls -
how we long to dance for hours,
years, in joy's dim light that
clothed us in moments.
I can only pray as they go away
that love will trail them and I
through life's inconstant night.
