Gunshot warning on my front porch
 
 Waiting for the wind to die down
 
 So I can die down steadily myself
 
 Another evening on the fence
 
 Evading obstacles again, again, again
 
 Again, again, again
 
  
  What is it about walking backwards
 
 That I love so dearly (love so dearly)
 
 What is it about walking backwards
 
 That I love so dearly
  
 
 Kept myself to myself inside and out
 
 Vanishing from sight in dim-lit spaces
 
 Day and night hoping the world would realign
 
 Without my guidance or my sense
 
 To adjust myself again, again, again
 
 Again, again, again
  
 
 What is it about walking backwards
 
 That I love so dearly (love so dearly)
 
 What is it about walking backwards
 
 That I love so dearly
  
 
 I'll keep myself to myself inside and out
 
 I'll keep myself to myself inside and out
 
 I'll keep myself to myself inside and out
 
 I'll keep myself to myself inside and out
  
 
 What is it about walking backwards
 
 That I love so dearly (love so dearly)
 
 What is it about walking backwards
 
 That I love so dearly
  
 
 Gunshot warning on my front porch
 
 Waiting for the wind to die down
 
 So I can die down, die down
 
 Gunshot warning on my front porch
 
 Waiting for the wind to die down
 
 So I can die down steadily myself
