Night comes creeping up, I'm not ready yet
I'm undone long before I get a chance at it
And there are times when I can't stand still
In all of this confusion

But it's hard walking forwards in a backwards world
Yeah, it's hard walking forwards in a backwards world
So much waits for me beyond my control

I watch the dreams rush in and show me what I hide
It leaves me cold and there are times when I can't stand still
In all of this confusion

But it's hard walking forwards in a backwards world
Yeah, it's hard walking forwards in a backwards world
When all you do is talk in a backwards world

It's easy to get lost in a backwards world
It's you, you double cross in a backwards world
Slow dive down to the ocean floor

That's where I found the boat that I was looking for
And there are times when I can't stand still
In all of this confusion

But it's hard walking forward in a backwards world
Yeah, it's hard walking forwards in a backwards world
But it's hard walking forwards in a backwards world
