Artists as Characters Lyrics by Backwards Dancer

Backwards Dancer

2017

Now that it's time to face all your fears
You've bottled them up over so many years
Married the thought with a pure sense of truth
I'd give into boredom if I could follow you

Out of the bar it's last call
I don't want to be this wrecking ball
Follow me around while the ground disconnects from the scent of your car to the buzz in your head

So I never want to hurt you my hands keep finding a way to avoid you
Keep me in your palms while the breeze is ever changing, hold me in your arms while the earth starts quaking
Never really knew where I was meant to be but the voice in my head once whispered to me

Walk towards the place that suits your honesty
Don't make up for time that you lost with grief
It's not the snow that's so cold it's the air you breathe
Come out in the cold in the cold with me

Now that you've gone and followed your heart
Turned all your boredom to pieces of art
Married the thought with a pure sense of truth
I'd go anywhere if I could just follow you

Out of the car and out you call
I just wanna see how hard we fall
Keep me in your palms while the breeze is ever changing
Hold me in your arms while the earth starts quaking
Never really knew where I was meant to be but a voice in my head once whispered to me

Run towards the place that suits your honesty
Don't make up for time that you lost in grief
It's not the snow that's so cold it's the air you breathe
Come out in the cold in the cold with me
