Текст The Ballroom Thieves – My Backwards Walk

I’ve been working on my backwards walk
I’m walking with no shoes or socks
And the time rewinds to the end of May

I’ve been working on my backwards walk
‘Cause there’s nowhere else for me to go
Except back to you just one last time
Say yes before I change my mind
