Sometimes it feels like we are walking backwards up a mountain Sometimes it feels like we don't know which way to go We made a promise to keep our mouths shut Stay out of the way That promise went too far That promise went too far away [Chorus] Walking backwards with nothing to say Walking backwards, backwards to get out of the way Sometimes it feels like we are stabbing in the dark with nothing to say But when the lights go out, see no hear no speak no evil Sometimes you're thinking that it's fine At least we're both alive Life's what you make it but trouble is never far Trouble is never far away [Chorus] Sometimes it feels like we've woken up in an empty room All the doors are shut I can see your breath and feel your fingertips I reach for the light but I can't find the switch What happens if we fall between all the tiny gaps that we exist within? That was then This is now We will find our legs and keep moving around [Chorus: x4] To get out of the way To get out of the way To get out of the way Walking backwards Walking backwards Walking backwards To get out of the way
