[Chorus]
It feels like I only go backwards baby,
Every part of me says go ahead,
I've got my hopes up again oh no, not again.
It feels like we only go backwards, darlin'.

[Verse 1]
I know that you think you sound silly when you call my name.
But I get it inside my head all day
Then I realise I'm just holding on to the hope that maybe your feelings don't show.

[Chorus]
It feels like I only go backwards, baby,
Every part of me says go ahead,
I've got my hopes up again oh no, not again.
It feels like I only go backwards, darlin'.

[Verse 2]
In decision as in me oh no
Cause I guess? Long ago
But that's the way it seems to go,
We try so hard to get to something real.

[Chorus x3]
It feels like I only go backwards, baby,
Every part of me says go ahead,
I've got my hopes up again oh no, not again.
It feels like we only go backwards, darlin'.
