my backwards walk

i've been working on my backwards walk

i'm walking with no shoes or socks

and the time rewinds to the end of may

i wish we'd never met

then met today

i'm working on my faults and cracks

i'm filling in the blanks and gaps

when i write them out they don't make sense

i need you to pencil in the rest

i'm working on drawing a straight line

and i'll draw until i get one right

it's bold and dark girl

can't you see

i done drawn a line between you and me

so i'm working on erasing you

but i just don't have the proper tools

i get hammered

forget that you exist

but there's no way i'm forgetting this

i've been working hard on walking out

the shoes keep sticking to the ground

my clothes won't let me close the door

'cause these trousers seem to love your floor

i've been working on my backwards walk

'cause there's nowhere else for me to go

except back to you just one last time

say yes before i change my mind

say yes before i. i've been working on my backwards walk

'cause there's nowhere else for me to go

except back to you just one last time

say yes before i change my mind
