20th
I’m working on my backwards walk
Walking with no shoes or socks
And the time rewinds the end of me
I wish we’d never met that man today
I’m working on my faults and cracks
Filling in the blanks and gaps
When I write them out they don’t make sense
I need you to pencil in the rest
I’m working on drawing a straight line
And I’ll draw until I get one right
It’s bold and dark, girl, can you see
I done drawn a line between you and me
I’m working on erasing you
Just don’t have the proper tools
I’ll get hammered, forget that you exist
There’s no way I’m forgetting this
I’m working hard on walking out
Shoes keep sticking to the ground
My clothes won’t let me close the door
My trousers seem to love your floor
I’ve been working on my backwards walk
There’s nowhere else for me to go
‘Cept back to you just one last time
Say yes before I change my mind
Say yes before I…
