Can't Go Back Now Lyrics
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
'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
well you and me walk on
'Cause you can't go back now
And yeah, yeah 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
And you and me walk on
yeah, you and me walk on
'Cause you can't go back now
walk on, walk on, walk on
you can't go back now.
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?
'Cause you can't go back now
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
'Cause you can't go back now
Yeah, yeah, be what you want to be
If you ever turn around, you'll see me
Why everybody wishes they were somewhere else
But in the end the only steps that matter
Are the ones you take all by yourself
yeah, you and me walk on
'Cause you can't go back now
walk on, walk on, walk on
you can't go back now.

I think this is my favorite from Hideaway. I agree with the two posters above. You can't go back, forget about the past, move on (walk on).
I love it!
I agree with everyone above me, and add that it also means he will always be right behind her, and with her every step of the way.
"And yeah, yeah go where you want to go Yeah, yeah, be what you want to be If you ever turn around, you'll see me"

This song is amazing. The lyrics are simple, but powerful. And the echo of the "walk on" is addictive. I've had this song on repeat for about 24 hours now.
To me it's a person encouraging another. Telling them to find out who they are, go for what they want go for, and no matter what I'll be here for you.
This song is a reflection of their new addition to their family. They are summarizing life in a song for their child; letting the child know they will always be there one step behind.
That's perfect. It doesn't work if he's singing it to her. It must be a child because of the lines "But in the end the only steps that matter Are the ones you take all by yourself". I always imagine my dad singing this to me.

its about them having their baby boy...and sticking together. parenthoods tough for relationships.
I can't believe nobody has replied to this!
He's saying that no matter what happens, keep going, even if everything is a living hell... amirite?
This song is exquisite. It's about moving on, growing into the person you want to be, etc. Very pretty.
This really is quite an amazing song. I'm so glad Steve Tallen got to sing lead. The meaning of the song really doesn't leave room for interpretation, but the message is beautiful and positive. A+!
Ehh there is one thing you all are missing, "everybody wishes they wishes someone else"
Its all of the above, and also, dont expect yourself to be someone you arn't. This isnt hinted in the song, its just a personal lesson, expecting yourself to be better than you are in some terms can leave you upset with your life.
In regards to advice for their new born child:

In feel this is saying that sometimes the grass may seem greener on the other side, but it is important to remember that the only person that should matter to you is you.

A great picker upper. Basically just saying I know its hard and I wish it were easier like in the past but it's not so let's just keep moving and get through this.
My favorite line is "the only steps that matter are the ones you take all by yourself" it really just says sometimes you have to do things by yourself but you'll get more from it in the long run. And those times are very defining moments in life
