"Feels Like We Only Go Backwards"



It feels like I only go backwards baby,

Every part of me says "go ahead".

But I got my hopes up again, oh no, not again.

Feels like we only go backwards darling.



I know that you think you sound

silly when you call my name

But I hear it inside my head all day.

When I realise I'm just holding Into

the hope that maybe

your feelings don't show...



It feels like I only go backwards baby,

Every part of me says go ahead.

Then I got my hopes up again, oh no, not again.

Feels like we only go backwards darling.



The seed of all this indecision isn't me, oh no,

'Cause I decided long ago.

But that's the way it seems to go when trying

so hard to get to something real,

It feels...



It feels like I only go backwards baby,

Every part of me says "go ahead".

But I got my hopes up again, oh no, not again.

Feels like we only go backwards darling.
