<poem> | <poem> | ||
I keep on running backwards | |||
I keep on losing faith | |||
I thought I had the answers | |||
I thought I knew the way | |||
My brother said be patient | |||
My mother held my hand | |||
Don't know what I'm chasing | |||
Don't know who I am | |||
Woke up this morning holdin' my head | |||
Thinkin' last night is one of regret | |||
Washin' off the bad decisions, the blurry vision | |||
The clues that I'm still a mess | |||
Spittin' out the taste I have in my mouth | |||
Knowin' what this all is really about | |||
Knowin' there's an explanation, an expiration | |||
I gotta figure shit out | |||
And they're askin' me if I can see | |||
The darkness down below | |||
And I know it's true, I say I do | |||
And half the time I don't | |||
Maybe I can't make what it may take | |||
To leave this thing behind | |||
But I shut my eyes and cross each line | |||
And every time | |||
I keep on running backwards | |||
I keep on losing faith | |||
I thought I had the answers | |||
I thought I knew the way | |||
My brother said be patient | |||
My mother held my hand | |||
I don't know what I'm chasing | |||
I don't know who I am | |||
Waking in the dead of night, I can't sleep | |||
Sleeping in the light of day for like weeks | |||
Reality was out of focus, I could be hopeless | |||
Instead I gritted my teeth | |||
I didn't have the patience left to explain | |||
Didn't wanna wake when nobody came | |||
I know the path I had's uneven, but while I'm breathing | |||
I have to make my own lane | |||
And they're askin' me if I can see | |||
The darkness down below | |||
And I know it's true, I say I do | |||
And half the time I don't | |||
Maybe I can't make what it may take | |||
To leave this thing behind | |||
But I shut my eyes and cross each line | |||
And every time | |||
I keep on running backwards | |||
I keep on losing faith | |||
I thought I had the answers | |||
I thought I knew the way | |||
My brother said be patient | |||
My mother held my hand | |||
I don't know what I'm chasing | |||
I don't know who I am | |||
So, I make it up as I go | |||
I make it up as I go | |||
So, I make it up as I go | |||
I make it up as I go, as I go | |||
I keep on running backwards | |||
I keep on losing faith | |||
I thought I had the answers | |||
I thought I knew the way | |||
My brother said be patient | |||
My mother held my hand | |||
I don't know what I'm chasing | |||
Don't know who I am | |||
So, I make it up as I go | |||
I make it up as I go | |||
So, I make it up as I go | |||
I make it up as I go, as I go | |||

Lyrics
I keep on running backwards
I keep on losing faith
I thought I had the answers
I thought I knew the way
My brother said be patient
My mother held my hand
Don't know what I'm chasing
Don't know who I am
Woke up this morning holdin' my head
Thinkin' last night is one of regret
Washin' off the bad decisions, the blurry vision
The clues that I'm still a mess
Spittin' out the taste I have in my mouth
Knowin' what this all is really about
Knowin' there's an explanation, an expiration
I gotta figure shit out
And they're askin' me if I can see
The darkness down below
And I know it's true, I say I do
And half the time I don't
Maybe I can't make what it may take
To leave this thing behind
But I shut my eyes and cross each line
And every time
I keep on running backwards
I keep on losing faith
I thought I had the answers
I thought I knew the way
My brother said be patient
My mother held my hand
I don't know what I'm chasing
I don't know who I am
Waking in the dead of night, I can't sleep
Sleeping in the light of day for like weeks
Reality was out of focus, I could be hopeless
Instead I gritted my teeth
I didn't have the patience left to explain
Didn't wanna wake when nobody came
I know the path I had's uneven, but while I'm breathing
I have to make my own lane
And they're askin' me if I can see
The darkness down below
And I know it's true, I say I do
And half the time I don't
Maybe I can't make what it may take
To leave this thing behind
But I shut my eyes and cross each line
And every time
I keep on running backwards
I keep on losing faith
I thought I had the answers
I thought I knew the way
My brother said be patient
My mother held my hand
I don't know what I'm chasing
I don't know who I am
So, I make it up as I go
I make it up as I go
So, I make it up as I go
I make it up as I go, as I go
I keep on running backwards
I keep on losing faith
I thought I had the answers
I thought I knew the way
My brother said be patient
My mother held my hand
I don't know what I'm chasing
Don't know who I am
So, I make it up as I go
I make it up as I go
So, I make it up as I go
I make it up as I go, as I go
