Q&A
Backwards Slowly Lyrics
He could tell by the way a normal day
Seemed to repeat
Caught in a loop of common faith
Endless and incomplete
A life unsure of its promises
Beyond the daily grind
Oh how he wanted to leave behind
The town and the people there
Bruise of a bully’s stare
Confused and unkind
Row the wreckage right out of his mind
The shine of every light he chased
Put a glint in his eyes
But darkness moved his wandering
And cars just passed him by
Out on the edge of town
Thumb in the air
No sign to point the way
No chance that he would stay
Made up his mind
It’s cold when the sun goes down
Dark night cold ground
Hard to survive this way
Only walking backwards slowly
As the rain is falling
Now he moves
He’s only walking backwards slowly
As the rain is falling
x 6 (last two pretty muted)
Seemed to repeat
Caught in a loop of common faith
Endless and incomplete
A life unsure of its promises
Beyond the daily grind
The town and the people there
Bruise of a bully’s stare
Confused and unkind
Row the wreckage right out of his mind
Put a glint in his eyes
But darkness moved his wandering
And cars just passed him by
Thumb in the air
No sign to point the way
No chance that he would stay
It’s cold when the sun goes down
Dark night cold ground
Hard to survive this way
As the rain is falling
He’s only walking backwards slowly
As the rain is falling
