Feels Like We Only Go Backwards Lyrics

[00:03.63] It feels like I only go backwards, baby
[00:10.82] Every part of me says, "Go ahead"
[00:16.31] But I got my hopes up again, oh, no, not again
[00:23.39] Feels like we only go backwards, darling
[00:32.01] I know that you think
[00:35.93] You sound silly when you call my name
[00:41.47] But I hear it inside my head all day
[00:45.85] When I realise I'm just holding
[00:49.52] Onto the hope that, maybe
[00:52.82] Your feelings don't show
[00:56.48] It feels like I only go backwards, baby
[01:02.79] Every part of me says, "Go ahead"
[01:08.40] Then I got my hopes up again, oh, no, not again
[01:15.53] Feels like we only go backwards, darling
[01:24.36] The seed of all this indecision isn't me, oh, no
[01:33.06] 'Cause I decided long ago
[01:35.99] But that's the way it seems to go
[01:39.62] When trying so hard to get to something real
[01:45.98] It feels
[01:47.78] It feels like I only go backwards, darling
[01:53.96] Every part of me says, "Go ahead"
[01:59.83] But I got my hopes up again, oh, no, not again
[02:06.93] Feels like we only go backwards, darling
[02:13.65] It feels like I only go backwards, baby
[02:19.68] Every part of me says, "Go ahead"
[02:25.25] But I got my hopes up again, oh, no, not again
[02:32.59] Feels like we only go backwards, darling
[02:39.88] It feels like I only go backwards, baby
[02:45.33] Every part of me says, "Go ahead"
[02:51.06] But I got my hopes up again, oh, no, not again
[02:58.10] Feels like we only go backwards, darling
[03:03.61]
