Back and forth we chase our love
For our lives we're holding on
I keep my heart on the front lines
And you know how to promise me it'll work out fine
It's really not hard to lie to myself
That it's safer here on the front lines
Back and forth we chase our love
For our lives we're holding on to something lifeless
Ain't it funny how it works like that
Don't let our friends get too close
Can't afford to let them see the damage
Ain't it funny how it hurts like that
They'll say learn how to let go
But I'll talk out loud on the drive home
And I'll convince myself that nobody could love me better
They say that I should learn how to let go
Back and forth we chase our love
For our lives we're holding on to something lifeless
Ain't it funny how it works like that
Don't let our friends get too close
Can't afford to let them see the damage
Ain't it funny how it hurts like that
Back and forth we chase our love
For our lives we're holding on
Back and forth we chase our love
For our lives we're holding on
