backwards

Christina Perri

Take me backwards
Turn me around
I cannot find my balance
On the ground
This world is too heavy
For a feather falling quickly

And I wrote you a story
But I'm afraid of how it ends
And all my friends are doing well
And I'm still on the mend

I'm gonna 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

Nothing's coming easy
And all at once
I feel a little queasy
Oh, but if you lost 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 gonna 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 break in
Chances are your breaking open

I'm gonna 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 wont change
It's time to be brave
