Walking Backwards

Watching the ground,

I swear I've seen these streets before,

I gotta turn it around

Don't wanna be here anymore

Gotta change the way I've been facing,

Spending all my time retracing old scars

So far from where I wanna be

Don't walk with me

Cause I take one step forward and two steps back

I'm headed the wrong way,

The wrong way on the right track

Like I'm walking backwards

Like standing still would be faster

Cause I know disaster is after me

But I'll get the last word this chapter, you'll see

If I stop walking backwards

Staring ahead

I tell my feet to follow but they're

Just reversing instead

Wouldn't you think that I'd know by now

This is all too familiar

Who knew deja-vu could kill you

Oh no, here I go, it all repeats,

Don't follow me

Cause I take one step forward and two steps back

I'm headed the wrong way,

The wrong way on the right track

Like I'm walking backwards

Like standing still would be faster

Cause I know disaster is after me

But I'll get the last word this chapter, you'll see

If I stop walking backwards

So maybe I'll crash, and maybe I'll burn

But maybe I'll turn this thing around

If something can change, and lessons are learned

It isn't too late to make up ground

I'm making up ground

'Cause I'm walking backwards

Like standing still would be faster

Cause I know disaster is after me

But I'll get the last word this chapter, you'll see

If I stop walking backwards, hey

(Like standing still would be faster)

'Cause I know disaster is after me

But I'll get the last word this chapter, you'll see

If I stop walking backwards, hey
