Comments:
|
"Don't Look Back" was written for the Centurion Pictures film "What Could Have Been", starring Kelly McGillis (Top Gun, Witness) and Eric Johnson (Flash Gordon, Smallville). We wrote most of the lyric after watching a two-minute film trailer, before we'd seen the entire film. The songwriting was completed and the track was recorded in a variety of homes, studios and hotel rooms in Canada and France. Originally our song was called "What Could Have Been", same as the film title, but Bryan thought "Don't Look Back" was a better title for the song -- (and it was) -- so we changed it at the last minute. |

| Lyrics: | Look into the eyes of a child, it's magic Once in a while You don't know what to say You throw it all away Hold onto your dreams, you can find them Take a look around Remember who you are You don't have to look that far I'd given up on happy endings You know that it won't last Don't look back Don't look back Reach into your soul, it's amazing Open up your eyes And face another day And find a better way Hang onto your heart, it's surprising It's easy to believe You can lose it in the end And find it all again I'm turning nightmares into dreams And the fear is fading fast Don't look back Don't look back How can I go on pretending Living in the past Don't look back Don't look back Don't look back Don't look back Don't look back Backing vocals: How can I go on pretending I'd given up on happy endings Even though your heart is breaking Love is there - it's for the taking |
