[Verse 1]
I'll be gone now, either way that the wind blows
I'll be back though, leave a light in the window
When the waves die down, I'll be halfway round and I'll call you
When the sun blocks out, hold the radio up to the phone

[Pre-Chorus]
I was dreaming
I was heading west, thirty days faster
Had a fever, woke up in a sweat, bailing out the water

[Chorus]
Can't go on
Can't go back
Can't go on...
Can't go back

[Verse 2]
Heard your voice coming through the noise
Wrote it in the radio log
Hurt my head wondering what you said
So I threw it overboard

[Chorus]
Can't go on
Can't go back
Can't go on
Can't go back
Can't go on...
Can't go back
[Pre-Chorus]
I was dreaming
I was heading west, thirty days faster
Had a fever, woke up in a sweat, bailing out the water

[Chorus]
Can't go on
Can't go back
Can't go on
Can't go back
Can't go on...
Can't go back
