about

First song I ever played live solo. That show was in Santa Rosa with Rafter Roberts in 1994, I think. I originally played it on bass and sang.
Hidden track with 5 minutes of silence before the track starts. I bet that's annoying.

lyrics

you and i on a trip
could never get very far
we'd always end up outside
but never get neat a car

every time i think or write or hear your name
i think about churches and all the games we played

and every time i think i'm going to stop looking backwards
i find i'm just craning my neck
and every time i think i'm going to stop living backwards
i find i'm just breaking my neck

once upon a broken lip
a kiss so hip to all my tricks
and once you thought me so shy
but now you just see an old disguise

and every now and then when you hear my name
do you think about the holes we dug and all the games we played?

and every time i think i'm going to stop looking backwards
i find i'm just craning my neck
and every time i think i'm going to stop living backwards
i find i'm just breaking my neck

my neck, my neck, my neck, my neck

looking back will only hurt you, looking back will only hurt you in the end
oh, the games we played
