• christine lavin'in çok güzel bir melodiye sahip şarkısı. sözleri de şöyledir:
  
  never go back (1988)
  
  i had another one of those dreams
  about being back in my old hometown
  the house was still standing
  just like i remember
  except now the roses bloom (acmak)
  all year round
  i was playing with the callahan twins
  silly silly schoolgirl fun
  we didn’t know about cigarettes
  we didn’t know about alcohol
  we didn’t know one of us would die young
  
  chorus: we can never go back
  so why do i try
  and why does the past loom closer (uzakta hayal gibi belirme)
  every time i close my eyes
  we can never return
  we should keep moving on
  i wish these memories would
  burn down to ashes
  blow away and be gone.
  
  he gave me one of those looks last night
  i had no choice but to walk away
  i could not talk to him
  i could not deal with him
  i couldn’t hear what he had to say
  he flatly refuses to ever forget
  so he tries to remind me whenever he can
  he doesn't know all that i've been through
  he doesn’t know that it hurt me to
  he doesn’t know what was could never be again
  
  chorus: he can never go back
  so why does he try
  and why does the past loom closer
  by chance he catches my eye
  he can never return
  he should keep moving on
  i wish these memories would
  burn down to ashes
  blow away and be gone.
  
  now there’s a callahan girl
  but no callahan twins
  except when i dream of life as it had been
  like he probably dreams of me
  and how it used to be
  back when i was in love with him
  i try to cut the ropes
  cut the strings and threads
  cut the ties that choke
  that link the living with the dead
  and still i can never hide
  when day and night collide
  i find myself wide awake in bed.
  
  chorus: we can never go back
  so why do we try
  and why does the past loom closer
  every night when i close my eyes
  we can never return
  we should keep moving on
  i wish these memories would
  burn down to ashes
  blow away and be gone.
