Story Behind The Song
Song I wrote when I was diagnosed with cancer. I'm currently in remission, and I'm looking back on it.
Song Description
Song about looking forward to looking back on a bad experience. While for me, it was a cancer diagnosis and treatment, it could be anything. For instance, and old flame, or an old job, or ending any kind if dysfunctional relationship.

Lyrics
CHORUS
Looking forward to looking back
I'll miss you like a heart attack
Your memory fades into shades of black
I'm looking forward to looking back
V1
You came to my house looking for a home
I begged and pleaded, leave me all alone
I showed you to the door when you stabbed me in the back,
I'm looking forward to looking back
V2
You hide in places so hard to see
I am determined, you'll make no fool of me
Count on one thing, I won't cut you any slack
I'm looking forward to looking back.
BRIDGE
Do I need to tell you you're unwelcome
There are certain things I won't abide
You're the one I'm gonna to free myself from
Hear me now, you can't stay here inside
No no no you can't stay here inside
8 measure Solo here based on bridge
V3
You wouldn't leave without a fight
Hammer and tongs, I fight with all my might
Hear the anvil ring, your defences start to crack
I'm looking forward to looking back.
CHORUS
Looking forward to looking back
I'll miss you like a heart attack
Your memory fades into shades of black
I'm looking forward to looking back
OUTRO
Looking forward to looking back
I'm looking forward to..............looking back
