Anberlin - Retrace Lyrics






Oh how I've tried to get you out of my head
And I lied, the broken words I said
Never thought I'd walk on this street again
Standing where it all began

And I tried to forget
When I left this town
But it takes me right back
When I come back around

Retrace the steps we took on that lost summer night
I'm back there by your side
Retrace the steps we took when we met,
Worlds away, counting backwards while the stars are falling

Oh now I find, every subtle thing screams your name
It reminds me of places and times we shared
Couldn't live locked in these memories
Now I'm chained to my thoughts again

And I tried to forget
When I left this town
But I'll take you right back
If you come back around

Retrace the steps we took on that lost summer night
I'm back there by your side
Retrace the steps we took when we met,
Worlds away, counting backwards while the stars are falling

I need some shelter, I need some safety
Photographs, they haunt me lately
Chasing shadows as the evening takes me
I'm still searching, but the picture's fading

Retrace the steps we took on that lost summer night
I'm back there by your side
Retrace the steps we took when we met,
Worlds away, counting backwards...still counting backwards

And nowhere else has ever felt like home
And I can't fall asleep when I'm lying here alone
I replay your voice, it's like you're here
You moved the earth, but now the sky is falling

Retrace the steps we took on that lost summer night
In my mind I'm back by your side
Retrace the steps we took when we met,
Worlds away, counting backwards while the stars are falling

    This song and this album are the best of Anberlin!

  6. A.... ....

    The one of the best songs I've ever heard.
    Even though I'm fully focused on EDM when it comes to music, Anberlin, Fall out Boy, Dashboard Confessional, Panic! At The Disco, and Coldplay will always be my most memorable bands.

    A.... ....

    I love all Anberlin. I saw a bunch of bad reviews on this album since people complained about how it sounded mainstream instead of their original unique feeling style of artful music.
    I mean hey, it's Anberlin! Anything they do is unique and amazing!

    @Gizmotechno lol You just explained my life. xD

  22. G.... ....

    i usually get a lot of shit from my friends(mostly metalheads(but so am i :P)) for listening to this band, saying its gay, and sounds too simple and shit, but i have to say, nothing lifts my spirit up like Anberlin, it just hits all the right spots!! :)

    G.... ....

    Gizmotechno fk those guys just for using the word gay as an insult. Secondly it's your life and you decide what is meaningful to you!

    G.... ....

    You need new friends (a guy from the future)

    This song captures the experience and feelings of a breakup better than any I have ever heard.
