Can't Go Back Now

Here's a song I heard today that really meant something to me. So many songs out there right now just talk about parties, dancing, girls, boys, sex, love, sadness... This song just made me kind of sit up in my chair and think: This song is what my life is right now.
Here are the lyrics, though I recommend you listen to the song, it's so pretty.

"Can't Go Back Now" by The Weepies

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, walk on, 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


You and me walk on, walk on, walk on

'Cause you can't go back now
And yeah, yeah, you go where you want to go
Yeah, yeah, 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


You and me walk on, walk on, walk on

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


(I couldn't get the bloody font under control. Esthetically annoying...grrrr)
I have to stop wishing I was somewhere else. I feel like so much of my life has been spent always looking forward. That's good sometimes (that's dreaming right?), but I need to look around me once and a while. Appreciate where I am now. Where I've come from.

If the path be beautiful,
let us not ask where it leads.
