Lyrics

Walking Backwards

Some days, I'm walking backwards
Truth be told I don't mind
Some days, I'm walking backwards
Truth be told I don't mind

Some days, I'm almost there
Back to the beginning of time
Some days I'm on the right track
And there you are, on my mind

Just like the moon always returning
To the cradle of the dawn
I don't know why
It feels so natural
And the whole world sings along

Some days, I'm walking backwards
Back to the beginning of time
You say I'm on the right track
Truth be told I don't mind

Yesterday, I saw you with your hands up in the sky
I saw the whole thing twice
I said I been here before
Into the future of my life

Just like the moon always returning
To the pailing of the dawn
I don't know why
It feels so natural
And the whole world sings along
I don't know why it feels so natural
And the whole world sings along

Some days, I'm walking backwards
Truth be told I don't mind
Some days, I'm walking backwards
Truth be told I don't mind
Some days I'm almost there
