Walking Backwards

(album: This Is Not The World - 2008)

Sometimes it feels like
We are walking backwards up a mountain
Sometimes it feels like
We don't know which way to go

We made a promise
To keep our mouths shut, stay out of the way
That promise went too far
That promise went too far away

Walking backwards
With nothing to say
Walking backwards, backwards
To get out of the way

Sometimes it feels like
We are stabbing in the dark with nothing to say
But when the lights go out
See no, hear no, speak no evil

Sometimes you're thinking that it's fine
At least we're both alive
Life's what you make it but trouble is never far
Trouble is never far away

Walking backwards
With nothing to say
Walking backwards, backwards
To get out of the way

Walking backwards
With nothing to say
Walking backwards
Backwards to get out of the way

Sometimes it feels like we've woken up
In an empty room, all the doors are shut
I can see your breath and feel your fingertips
I reach for the light but I can't find the switch

What happens if we fall between
All the tiny gaps that we exist within?
That was then, this is now
Well, we will find our legs and keep moving around

Walking backwards
With nothing to say
Walking backwards, backwards
To get out of the way

Walking backwards
With nothing to say
Walking backwards, backwards
To get out of the way

Walking backwards
With nothing to say
Walking backwards, backwards
To get out of the way

Walking backwards
With nothing to say
Walking backwards, backwards
To get out of the way
To get out of the way
To get out of the way
To get out of the way

Walking backwards
Walking backwards
Walking backwards
To get out of the way
