Eyes Front

You know how they say
How they always say
“You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone”
I thought it was wrong
But I’m in a new place,
And I don’t belong

So take a look back
At what you’re leaving behind
See all the simple things
And how they remind
Remind you of better days
Remind you of a better place
Now eyes front and face tomorrow

And I never believed
Didn’t ever believe
That this hell was the best years of our lives
But it was the best of our lives
And now the rest of our lives
Are staring us in the face

So take a look back
At what you’re leaving behind
See all the simple things
And how they remind
Remind you of the better days
Remind you of a better place
Now eyes front and face tomorrow

So I’ll say goodbye
My final goodbye
And look back to what I’m leaving behind
As I wipe the tears from my eyes
I’ll sniff and smile
And wave to the easy days

So take a look back
At what you’re leaving behind
See all the simple things
And how they remind
Remind you of the better days
Remind you of a better place
Now eyes front and face tomorrow

It’s time to face tomorrow
And you can’t turn round
And you can’t go back
So look right ahead
Take some strides
Into the rest of your life

So take a look back (one last look)
At what you’re leaving behind
See all the simple things
And how they remind
Remind you of the better days
Remind you of a better place
Now eyes front and face forever
