Time and Time Again Lyrics

Cover art for Time and Time Again lyrics by Counting Crows

"I wanted to see you walking backwards And get the sensation of you coming home I wanted to see you walking away from me Without the sensation of you leaving me alone"

Those lyrics are some of the cleverest lyrics I've ever heard. My boyfriend says it's gibberish. I could hit him with a spanner sometimes. The walking backwards to imply coming home obviously means the person who's being talked about has already left. If the person walked away without the sensation that they were leaving him alone it would mean they intended on coming back - which above all else is what is desired.

My boyfriend is still caught on the imagery of 'walking backwards' and thinks it's silly.
