Talking Backwards

We can talk for hours

When the line is still engaged

We're not getting any closer

You're too many miles away

And I might as well be talking backwards

Am I making any sense to you?

And the only thing that really matters

Is the one thing I can't seem to do

When that night was over

And the field was lit up bright

And I walked home with you

Nothin' I said came out right

And I might as well be talking backwards

Am I making any sense to you?

And the only thing that really matters

Is the one thing I can't seem to do

And I might as well be talking backwards

Am I making any sense to you?

And the only thing that really matters

Is the one thing I can't seem to

Make sense of this dream

It's the one thing I can't seem to do
