Backwards

Signed and sealed
A reckless way to voice your thoughts
The wreckage has found it's way to shore
And you're just the one
To tie the rope to the sea floor
When the anchor's gone and been ignored
As she ponders something else
For no one's benefit
The possessions of hers are counterfeit

But before too long
When you think you know someone
You'll be treading on the shadows

I never meant to have said it all (I never meant to say it all)
My words were all backwards
What kind of person do you take me for? (I never meant to say it all)
Then again it doesn't matter
Was still nice to have my head screwed on (I never meant to say)
You can have me but how does this go on now? (Never meant it all)
Let it parade away
My words were all backwards

Ceaselessly
She finds herself where she wants to be
Takes the conundrums on the chin
Of someone else
If they offer themselves up willingly
It's a symptom of insensibility

But before too long
When you think you know someone
You'll be treading on the shadows

I never meant to have said it all (I never meant to say it all)
My words were all backwards
What kind of person do you take me for? (I never meant to say it all)
Then again it doesn't matter
Was still nice to have my head screwed on (I never meant to say)
You can have me but how does this go on now? (Never meant it all)
Let it parade away
My words were all backwards

I never meant to say it all
I never meant to say
My words were all backwards

Before you know it's now the time
To be done with it all
The pictures drawn
And I would like to hang it up on your wall
I'd love to say goodbye
I'd love to say goodbye
