Walking Backwards - The Futureheads

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
