Backwards and Forwards Lyrics by Tall Heights

Neptune

2016

[Verse 1]
Oh my god, my honey
I think about it all the time
Evenings dark but sunny
Play back across my mind

[Pre-Chorus 1]
In the dark walls, in the back bar
In the corner of that small town
Are yellow from the candle-light
I play it backwards and forwards
And any way I please, no direction feels true

[Chorus]
But you do, you do, in a way that I'll always love
You know, you do, in a way that I'll always defend
So how do I do right by you now?

[Verse 2]
Oh my god, my honey
Was I really so out of line?
The feeling once was heady
The feeling once was mine

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And the currents, the ripples
The slow flow to the ocean
From the backwaters of our old lives
They pull us sideways and forwards
And any way they please, no direction feels true

[Chorus]
But you do, you do, in a way that I'll always love
You know, you do, in a way that I'll always defend
So how do I do right by you now?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
In the dark walls, in the back bar
In the corner of that small town
A yellow from the candle-light
I play it backwards and forwards
And any way I please, no direction feels true

[Chorus]
But you do, you do, in a way that I'll always love
You know, you do, in a way that I'll always defend
In the dark walls in the back bar
In the corner of that small town
But you do, you do, in a way that I'll always love
I play it backwards and forwards
And any way I please
You know, you do, in a way that I'll always defend

So how do I do right by you now?
How do I do right by you now?
How do I do right by you now?
How do I do right by you now?

So how do I do right by you now?
How do I do right by you now?
How do I do right by you now?
How do I do right by you now?
