I'm dead in the water   A silhouette turning over   I'll wait for you here      And I keep forgetting   Where I'm meant to be   Oh so far yet oh so near      So tell me   Just what are these gifts that you bring   This life is amazing   But the colours keep changing   And I'm sure   We shouldn't be wasting away   My rotting history   Will find it's place      So don't go   So cold   So don't go   So cold      I'll not be afraid   It's taken this long   To come back again   And yes, I might suffer   The fate of another   The shit and the bones   All things considered   I walked with my hands held out   I walked with my hands held out   To you    And all that's good      And I'm sure   We shouldn't be wasting away   And I'm sure   We shouldn't be wasting away   And I'm sure   We shouldn't be wasting away   And I'm sure   We shouldn't be wasting away      Living backwards   I'm living backwards   I'm living backwards   I'm living backwards   I'm living backwards   I'm living backwards
