Backpedal Lyrics by Iris Temple

The Ones We Love

2019

[Chorus]
Backpedal
When flower petals bloom to
Bad weather
And you're moving fast so I
Can’t catch up
You backpedal
Backpedal (yeah)

[Verse 1]
Retrace your steps
So you can find
The riverbed
Where you were baptized
The southern heat would follow you downstream
Where I shed my skin
Marks a new beginning
Retrace your steps
So you can find
You've learned something
The heat was worthwhile

[Bridge]
When you backpedal
You know better than to fall into a hole
Expecting it to let you go

[Chorus]
Backpedal
When flower petals bloom to
Bad weather
And you're moving fast so I
Can’t catch up
You backpedal
Backpedal

[Verse 2]
Rewind
Back to your senses
Your fingertips remember the feel
I hear you take time if it's precious
Like fine gold
I hear you know when it's real
I know what it feels like
To free-fall in real time
I'm spinning
So can you hold me forreal
At least till the morning
Leave a mark on me darling
Hands stained plucking blueberry fields
Come back to your senses
When things look so distant
We feel that they might disappear
When life gets sped up
And I can't catch up
I

[Chorus]
Backpedal
When flower petals bloom to
Bad weather
And you're moving fast so I
Can't catch up
You backpedal
Backpedal (yeah)
