Walking backwards down the road
Looking all around
Never thought I'd wind up
Walking backwards down the road
Leading out of town
Oh, I've just got to go
I left a note behind me in your mailbox
When you wake up, I'll be gone
I hope that you'll be happy with your new love
I'm just happy hanging on
Everywhere I look
There are memories of you
And I can't take it
That's why I'm walking backwards down the road
Looking all around
Never thought I'd wind up
Walking backwards down the road
Leading out of town
I've just got to go
How can I stay and watch you walk together
When I pass you on the street?
How can I go to parties or a movie?
I just panic when we meet
Somewhere there's a place
I can get over you
And I must find it
That's why I'm walking backwards down the road
Leading out of town
Never thought I'd wind up
Walking backwards down the road
Feeling so low down
Feeling so low down
Walking out of town
Walking backwards
Walking backwards
