Manchester Orchestra
My Backwards Walk
[Verse 1]
I'm working on my backwards walk
Walking with no shoes or socks
And the time rewinds to the end of May
I wish we'd never met, then met today

[Verse 2]
I'm working on my faults and cracks
Filling in the blanks and gaps
And when I write them out they don't make sense
I need you to pencil in the rest

[Verse 3]
I'm working on drawing a straight line
And I'll draw until I get one right
And it's bold and dark girl, can't you see
I done drawn a line between you and me

[Verse 4]
I'm working on erasing you
I just don't have the proper tools
I get hammered, forget that you exist
There's no way that I'm forgetting this

[Verse 5]
I'm working hard on walking out
And shoes keep sticking to the ground
My clothes won't let me close the door
'Cause the trousers seem to love your floor
[Verse 6]
I've been working on my backwards walk
'Cause there's nowhere else for me to go
Except back to you just one last time
Say yes before I change my mind
Say yes before I–

[Refrain]
You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it
You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it
You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it
You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it
You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it
You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it
You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it
You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it
