[Intro]
Hey

[Verse 1]
Walkin' on backwards, I reach the end
The generosity of passin' time
Worn out, worn out, and bent at the knee
There is still so much to climb

[Pre-Chorus]
We were too undefined
I was out of my mind
Now I'm walkin' on backwards
To meet you on the line

[Chorus]
As I am, as you are
Let's go back to the start
Caroline, I know
Caroline, I swear
Caroline, Caroline
Caroline, I know

[Verse 2]
I was so cold then, wasn't I clever?
Learned to keep my distance from the crowd
Worn out, worn out, and bent at the knee
I no longer need to be proud
[Chorus]
As I am, as you are
Let's go back to the start
Caroline, I know
Caroline, I swear
Caroline, Caroline
Caroline, I know

[Bridge]
Oh no, yeah
Know we still got time
Oh yeah, ooh
Caroline

[Refrain]
Here I stand
As I am
For you, Caroline
For you, Caroline
Here I stand
As I am
For you, Caroline
For you, Caroline
Here I stand
As I am
For you, Caroline
For you, Caroline
[Outro]
For you, Caroline
For you, Caroline
