Backwards

Signed and sealed

A reckless way to voice your thoughts The wreckage has found its way to shore And you're just the one

To tie the rope to the sea floor When the anchor's gone and been ignored As she ponders something else

For no one's benefit

The possessions of hers are counterfeit

But before too long

When you think you know someone You'll be treading on

The shadows

I never meant to have said it all

My words were all backwards

What kind of person do you take me for Then again it doesn't matter

Was still nice to have my head screwed on You can have me

But how does this go on now

Let it parade away

My words were all backwards

Ceaselessly

She finds herself where she wants to be Takes the conundrums on the chin Of someone else

If they offer themselves up willingly It's a symptom of insensibility

But before too long

When you think you know someone You'll be treading on

The shadows

I never meant to have said it all

My words were all backward

What kind of person do you take me for Then again it doesn't matter

Was still nice to have my head screwed on You can have me

But how does this go on now

Let it parade away

My words were all backward

 I never meant to say it all

I never meant to say

My words were all backwards

Before you know it's now the time

To be done with it all

The pictures drawn

And I would like to hang it up on your wall

I'd love to say goodbye I'd love to say goodbye
