Album: Lonerism (2012)

Feels Like We Only Go Backwards

It feels like I only go backwards baby,
Every part of me says "go ahead".
But I got my hopes up again, oh no, not again.
Feels like we only go backwards darling.

I know that you think you sound
silly when you call my name
But I hear it inside my head all day.
When I realise I'm just holding onto
the hope that maybe
your feelings don't show...

It feels like I only go backwards baby,
Every part of me says go ahead.
Then I got my hopes up again, oh no, not again.
Feels like we only go backwards darling.

The seed of all this indecision isn't me, oh no,
'Cause I decided long ago.
But that's the way it seems to go when trying
so hard to get to something real,
It feels...

It feels like I only go backwards baby,
Every part of me says "go ahead".
But I got my hopes up again, oh no, not again.
Feels like we only go backwards darling.
