A song about not wanting to go back to a time before a relationship.
lyrics
Where did it come from?
I don't dare to ask,
In fear of losing it all,
And breaking the glass.
Retracing my steps,
Through the trail that I left,
In fear of forgetting where it started,
Forgetting the best.
Walking backwards through the streets,
To the place where we meet.
The smiles disappear and I lose you my dear,
I think I'd rather go forwards.
I see a box of broken things,
But it's hidden behind a sepia mist.
And I see her crying in her bed,
Not the faintest clue of what's up ahead.
Ooh...
Walking backwards through the streets,
To the place where we meet.
The smiles disappear and I lose you my dear,
I think I'd rather go forwards.
Flashbacks in my head before I ever had you.
I'd rather not think.
I've come a long way from back in that day.
Walking backwards through the streets,
To the place where we meet.
The smiles disappear and I lose you my dear,
I think I'd rather go forwards.

I have loved Kate for so long. Her words and her voice just make me feel all sorts of good things. I've loved everything she's put out from YouTube covers and Replaced back when I was in high school to Meadowlark and the occassional solo work now. She is a blessing on my life. hbruce134
Four super songs from Sarah; all beautifully structured, sung and produced. There's a real brooding intensity to the messages built into these tracks – feelings that aren't quickly forgotten. Michael Reilly
