backwards - Christina Perri

Take me backwards, turn me around

Cannot find my balance on the ground

This world is too heavy

For a feather falling quickly

And I wrote your story

But I’m afraid of how it ends

And though my friends are doing well

And I’m still on the mend

I’m going to lay back down

Hope the wind takes me around

I gotta find some courage in this town

'Cause nobody’s going to save

Somebody who won’t change

I tried to be brave

And nothing’s coming easy, and all at once

I feel a little queasy

Oh, but if your love’s my remedy

Won’t you please come and be with me?

It’s not like there’s much better

Nobody’s grass is as green as mine

I can’t say that I’m satisfied

Three thousand miles from your kiss goodbye

I’m going to lay back down

Hope the wind takes me around

I gotta find some courage in this town

And everybody’s afraid

'Cause chances come from change

And everybody’s afraid

'Cause chances come from breaking

The chances are you’re breaking open

I’m going to lay back down

Hope the wind takes me around

I gotta find some courage in this town

'Cause nobody’s going to save

Somebody who won’t change

It’s time to be brave
