[Verse 1]
The more I get, the less I receive
The harder I love, the less I find
The faster I run, the slower I move
The more I speak up, the less you hear

[Chorus]
Oh, falling backwards
Back to the most important part
Falling backwards
Funny I thought I could skip square one, one, one

[Verse 2]
The higher I stand, the lower I fall
The more I ask of you, the less you do
Oh, the harder I hold on, the sooner you let go
The more I want you, the less you want me

[Chorus]
Oh, falling backwards
Back to the most important part
Falling backwards
Funny I thought I could skip square one, one, one
Oh one, one, one

[Bridge]
One time I try, but as much as I climb
Kept myself busy just as I should
Tripped on the same damn rock every time
Oh the regret again
[Chorus]
Falling backwards
Back to the most important part
Falling backwards
Funny I thought I could skip square one
