Lyrics

Some days I'm walking backwards
Truth be told, I don't mind
Some days I'm walking backwards
Truth be told, I don't mind
Some days I'm almost there
Back to the beginning of time
Some days I'm on the right track
And there you are, on my mind
Just like the moon always returning
To the cradle in the dawn
I don't know why it feels so natural
And the whole world sings along
Some days I'm walking backwards
Back to the beginning of time
You say I'm on the right track
Truth be told, I don't mind
Yesterday, I saw you with your hands up in the sky
I saw the whole thing twice
I said I've been here before
Into the future of my life
Just like the moon always returning
To the paling in the dawn
I don't know why it feels so natural
And the whole world sings along
I don't know why it feels so natural
And the whole world sings along
Some days I'm walking backwards
Truth be told, I don't mind
Some days I'm walking backwards
Truth be told, I don't mind
Some days I'm almost there
