lyrics

I'm working on my backwards walk
I'm walking with no shoes or socks
And the time rewinds to the end of May
I wish we'd never met and then met today

I'm working on my faults and cracks
I'm filling in the blanks and gaps
When I write them out they don't make sense
I need you to pencil in the rest

I'm working on drawing a straight line
And I'll draw until I get one right
It's bold and dark girl, can't you see?
I've drawn between you and me

I'm working on erasing you
I just don't have the proper tools
I'll get hammered forget that you exist
But there's no way I'm forgetting this

Working hard on walking out
My shoes keep sticking to the ground
My clothes won't let me close the door
The trousers seem to love your floor

Working on my backwards walk
There's nowhere left for me to go
Except back to you just one last time
Say yes before I change my mind
Say yes before I...

You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it
