Watching the ground,
|
I swear I've seen these streets before,
|
I gotta turn it around
|
Don't want to 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
|
|
'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
|
