Night comes creeping up
I’m not ready yet
I’m undone long before
I get a chance at it

And there are times when I can’t stand still
In all of this confusion
But it’s hard walking forwards in a backwards world
Yeah it’s hard walking forwards in a backwards world

So much waits for me beyond my control
I watch the dreams rush in
And show me what I hide
It leaves me cold

And there are times when I can’t stand still
In all of this confusion
But it’s hard walking forwards in a backwards world
Yeah it’s hard walking forwards in a backwards world

When all you  do is talk in a backwards world
It’s easy to get lost in a backwards world
It’s you you double cross in a backwards world

Slow dive down to the ocean floor
That’s where I found the boat that I was looking for

And there are times when I can’t stand still
In all of this confusion
But it’s hard walking forward in a backwards world
Yeah it’s hard walking forwards in a backwards worldBut it’s hard walking forwards in a backwards world
