moving backwards

i saw you there

and looked you straight between the eyes

and said i'm leaving

and i don't care

and i don't know if they were lies

but i don't need them

cause standing still

isn't easy

when the world's moving backwards

the world's moving backwards

so get your fill

but please believe me

that the world's moving backwards

the world's moving backwards

and i say

so what if they're just stories

what if i need them?

so i pray

that you'll give me grace if you can hear me

that you'll give me grace if you can hear

cause standing still

isn't easy

when the world's moving backwards

the world's moving backwards

so get your fill

but please believe me

that the world's moving backwards

the world's moving backwards

so i pray that you'll give me grace if you can hear me

that you'll give me grace if you can hear me

and i pray that you'll give us grace if you can hear me

you'll give us grace

you'll give us grace

you'll give us grace

cause standing still

isn't easy

when the world's moving backwards

the world's moving backwards

so get your fill

but please believe me

that the world's moving backwards

the world's moving backwards
