[Verse 1]
Gunshot warning on my front porch
Waiting for the wind to die down
So I can die down steadily myself
Another evening on the fence
Evading obstacles again, again, again
Again, again, again

[Chorus]
What is it about walking backwards
That I love so dearly (Love so dearly)
What is it about walking backwards
That I love so dearly

[Verse 2]
Kept myself to myself inside and out
Vanishing from sight in dim-lit spaces
Day and night hoping the world would realign
Without my guidance or my sense
To adjust myself again, again, again
Again, again, again

[Chorus]
What is it about walking backwards
That I love so dearly (Love so dearly)
What is it about walking backwards
That I love so dearly
[Bridge]
I'll keep myself to myself inside and out
I'll keep myself to myself inside and out
I'll keep myself to myself inside and out
I'll keep myself to myself inside and out

[Chorus]
What is it about walking backwards
That I love so dearly (Love so dearly)
What is it about walking backwards
That I love so dearly

[Outro]
Gunshot warning on my front porch
Waiting for the wind to die down
So I can die down, die down
Gunshot warning on my front porch
Waiting for the wind to die down
So I can die down steadily myself
