[Verse 1]
I saw you there
And looked you straight between the eyes
And said I'm leavin' (and said I'm leavin')
And I don't care
And I don't know if they were lies
But I don't need 'em (I don't need 'em)

[Chorus]
'Cause standing still isn't easy
When the world's movin' backwards (oh)
The world's movin' backwards (yeah)
So get your fill, but please believe me
That the world's movin' backwards (oh)
The world's movin' backwards (yeah, woah)

[Verse 2]
And so I say
So what if they're just stories
What if I need 'em? (What if I need 'em?)
And so I pray
That you'll give me grace if you can hear me (oh)
That you'll give me grace if you can hear

[Chorus]
'Cause standing still isn't easy
When the world's movin' backwards (oh)
The world's movin' backwards (yeah)
So get your fill, but please believe me
That the world's movin' backwards (oh)
The world's movin' backwards
[Bridge]
So I pray that you'll give me grace if you can hear me
That you'll give me grace if you can hear me
And I pray that you'll give us grace if you can hear me
You'll give us grace
You'll give us grace
Oh, you'll give us grace

[Chorus]
'Cause standing still isn't easy
When the world's movin' backwards (oh) (the world's movin')
The world's movin' backwards (yeah) (the world's movin')
So get your fill, but please believe me
That the world's movin' backwards (oh) (the world's movin')
The world's movin' backwards (oh) (the world's movin')
The world's movin' backwards (the world's movin')
(The world's movin')
(The world's movin')
(The world's movin')
