Walking Backwards
He says that he's the best runner in town
And she says she's a beauty queen
One day my father says, "Boy, why don't you be someone?"
Well, someone else already is
And there will always be a brand new car
I guess I never miss out by far
Everbody's done something by now
I guess I should do the same somehow
But it's so hard to see me run
That's why I'm walking backwards, hey, hey, hey
See the crowd is right ahead
Maybe I'll just walk backwards, hey, hey, hey
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, now, what do you wanna see?
A statue or someone like me?
Hey, now, God was never here
So God was never like me
But it's so hard to see me run
That's why I'm walking backwards, hey, hey, hey
You see the crowd is right ahead
Maybe I'll just walk backwards, hey hey hey
Hey, yeah, yeah
I never walk, I never move, but I always feel
Maybe it's hard for you to understand
I never suck nobody else, but I always love
I guess that you have never been
Well, let me show you all I've got
Show you all my love inside
Not so sure it's love inside
Still I'll show you whatever's inside, huh
But it's so hard to see me run
That's why I'm walking backwards, hey, hey, hey
You see the crowd is right ahead
Maybe I'll just walk backwards, hey, hey, hey, oh
Let me walk backwards, hey, hey, hey
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And she says she's a beauty queen
One day my father says, "Boy, why don't you be someone?"
Well, someone else already is
And there will always be a brand new car
I guess I never miss out by far
Everbody's done something by now
I guess I should do the same somehow
But it's so hard to see me run
That's why I'm walking backwards, hey, hey, hey
See the crowd is right ahead
Maybe I'll just walk backwards, hey, hey, hey
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, now, what do you wanna see?
A statue or someone like me?
Hey, now, God was never here
So God was never like me
But it's so hard to see me run
That's why I'm walking backwards, hey, hey, hey
You see the crowd is right ahead
Maybe I'll just walk backwards, hey hey hey
Hey, yeah, yeah
I never walk, I never move, but I always feel
Maybe it's hard for you to understand
I never suck nobody else, but I always love
I guess that you have never been
Well, let me show you all I've got
Show you all my love inside
Not so sure it's love inside
Still I'll show you whatever's inside, huh
But it's so hard to see me run
That's why I'm walking backwards, hey, hey, hey
You see the crowd is right ahead
Maybe I'll just walk backwards, hey, hey, hey, oh
Let me walk backwards, hey, hey, hey
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
