My Backwards Walk
Unraveling Love's Labyrinth: Frightened Rabbit's Melodic Reflection
Lyrics
I'm working on my backwards walk
I am in the process of retracing my steps
Walking with no shoes or socks
Walking barefoot, vulnerable
And the time rewinds to the end of May
Time takes me back to the conclusion of May
I wish we'd never met, then met today
Expressing regret about our meeting but wishes for a current connection
I'm working on my faults and cracks
Addressing personal flaws and imperfections
Filling in the blanks and gaps
Filling the voids and uncertainties
And when I write them out they don't make sense
Written self-reflections seem confusing and incomplete
I need you to pencil in the rest
Seeking assistance or completion from the other person
I'm working on drawing a straight line
Striving for a straightforward approach
And I'll draw until I get one right
Persisting until achieving a correct outcome
And it's bold and dark girl, can't you see
The drawn line is distinct and significant
I done drawn a line between you and me
Establishing a clear separation between the speaker and the other person
I'm working on erasing you
Attempting to remove the influence of the other person
Just don't have the proper tools
Lacking the proper emotional tools to erase memories
I get hammered, forget that you exist
Using alcohol to forget, but struggling to forget
There's no way that I'm forgetting this
Emphasizing the difficulty of forgetting
I'm working hard on walking out
Putting effort into leaving
Shoes keep sticking to the ground
Obstacles and hesitations in moving on
My clothes won't let me close the door
External factors hinder closing the emotional door
'Cause the trousers seem to love your floor
A reference to intimate moments in the past
I been working on my backwards walk
Revisiting the process of retracing steps
There's nowhere else for me to go
Feeling stuck with no alternative direction
Except back to you just one last time
Contemplating a return to the relationship for the last time
Say yes before I change my mind
Seeking affirmation before changing one's decision
Say yes before I
Continuation of seeking affirmation before
You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it
Repetition emphasizing the other person's significance and the speaker's entanglement
You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it, you're
-You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it
-You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it, you're
-You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it
-You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it, you're
-You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it
-You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it, you're
