Backslide (Live From An Evening With Twenty One Pilots)

[Spoken Intro]

This is a new song called Backslide

[Verse 1]

Rat race, place to place, adding weight

Tendencies on repeat, innit?

Benefit from a shoe with no lace

Take the seat with the crease in it

I don't mind if it's lonely

I don't mind if it's fair

I don't care, you control me

Leading me anywhere

[Chorus]

I don't wanna backslide to where I've started from

There's no chance I will shake this again

'Cause I feel the pull, water's over my head

Strength enough for one more time

Reach my hand above the tide

I'll take anything you have

If you could throw me a line

I should've loved you better

Do you think that now's the time

You should let go?

It's over my head

[Verse 2]

Bad place, on a hundred-dollar bass

Kinda wishin' that I never did "Saturday"

"Is that a stain? You should change

Are you doin' good?

Did you solve all of your problems?"

Thanks for asking, in a way, but

Accidentally uncovered a new one yesterday

What happened to what I brushed under the rug?

I used to be the champion of a world you can't see

Now I'm drowning in logistics

[Chorus]

I don't wanna backslide to where I've started from

There's no chance I will shake this again

'Cause I feel the pull, water's over my head

Strength enough for one more time

Reach my hand above the tide

I'll take anything you have

If you could throw me a line

I should've loved you better

Do you think that now's the time

You should let go?

[Bridge]

It's over my head (I don't mind if it's lonely)

You should let go (I don't mind if it's fair)

It's over my head (I don't care, you control me)

(Leading me anywhere)

[Chorus]

I'll take anything you have

If you could throw me a line

I should've loved you better

Do you think that now's the time

You should let go? (I don't mind if it's lonely)

It's over my head (I don't mind if it's fair)

You should let go

It's over my head

[Outro]

I don't wanna
