The Futureheads - Walking Backwards

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 standing in the dark with nothing to say
But when the lights go on, we 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
But 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, get out of the way!
