walking backwards down the road

walking backwards down the road

looking all around

never thought i'd wind up

walking backwards down the road

leading out of town

oh

i've just got to go and

i left a note behind me

in your mailbox

when you wake up i'll be gone

i hope that you'll be happy

with your new love

i'm just happy hanging on

everywhere i look

there are memories of you

and i can't take it

that's why i'm walking backwards down the road

looking all around

never thought i'd wind up

walking backwards down the road

leading out of town

oh

i've just got to go and

how can i stay and watch you

walk together

when i pass you on the street?

how can i go to parties or a movie?

i just panic when we meet

somewhere there's a place

i can get over you

and i must find it

that's why i'm walking backwards down the road

leading out of town

never thought i'd wind up

walking backwards down the road

feeling so low down

feeling so low down

walking out of town

walking backwards

walking backwards
