My Backwards Walk
Frightened Rabbit Lyrics

I'm working on my backwards walk
I'm trying to move on from the past, but finding it difficult

Walking with no shoes or socks
I feel vulnerable and exposed as I take this difficult journey

And the time rewinds to the end of May
I keep dwelling on a specific moment in the past and can't move forward

I wish we'd never met, then met today
I'm struggling with conflicting emotions about you and our past together

I'm working on my faults and cracks
I'm trying to address my own flaws and weaknesses

Filling in the blanks and gaps
I'm trying to make sense of my own shortcomings and mistakes

And when I write them out they don't make sense
Despite my efforts, I can't seem to understand or fix my own faults

I need you to pencil in the rest
I'm hoping that you can help me make sense of myself and my situation

I'm working on drawing a straight line
I'm trying to create some order and purpose in my life

And I'll draw until I get one right
I'm committed to putting in the effort to improve my own situation

And it's bold and dark girl, can't you see
My new sense of direction is clear and significant to me, but not to you

I done drawn a line between you and me
I'm trying to separate myself from you and move on with my life

I'm working on erasing you
I'm trying to forget about you and our past relationship

Just don't have the proper tools
I don't know how to completely let go of my feelings for you

I get hammered, forget that you exist
I try to distract myself from my feelings by drinking, but it doesn't really work

There's no way that I'm forgetting this
I know that even if I try to forget you, I won't be able to erase all of our memories

I'm working hard on walking out
I'm trying to leave you and our past behind for good

Shoes keep sticking to the ground
I'm having a hard time actually moving on from my old life and habits

My clothes won't let me close the door
Even though I want to move on, I can't seem to leave everything behind

'Cause the trousers seem to love your floor
I keep getting pulled back to our old relationship and the comfort it provided

I been working on my backwards walk
I'm still trying to move on, but it's taking a long time and requires a lot of effort

There's nowhere else for me to go
I feel stuck and can't seem to find a way out of my current situation

Except back to you just one last time
Despite everything, I still have a lingering desire to return to our old relationship

Say yes before I change my mind
I'm unsure about my own feelings and need reassurance from you before I commit

You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it
You have a big impact on my life and emotions, whether positive or negative

You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it, you're
You have a big impact on my life and emotions, whether positive or negative

You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it
You have a big impact on my life and emotions, whether positive or negative

You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it, you're
You have a big impact on my life and emotions, whether positive or negative

You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it
You have a big impact on my life and emotions, whether positive or negative

You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it, you're
You have a big impact on my life and emotions, whether positive or negative

You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it
You have a big impact on my life and emotions, whether positive or negative

You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it, you're
You have a big impact on my life and emotions, whether positive or negative
