Running Backwards Lyrics by The tenth

Dunes

0

You're always late and I'm always early
Time is a myth so what's the hurry
Just a minute with you
Worth a lifetime or two

You always say you're enamoured
Link the questions left unanswered
And what's destined to come
The present can feel so numb

None of this makes sense
But somehow it works
Need you at my defence
This is my rebirth

None of this makes sense
But somehow it works
Need you at my defence
This is my rebirth

You're always wide eyed and attentive
Visual hints and preceptive
Pre-emptive measures guarantee
That I think that we're seen

You always say you'll be back soon
I'll be waiting in the dunes
It's cold and dark and I'm afraid
Battalions and the brigade

None of this makes sense
But somehow it works
Need you at my defence
This is my rebirth

None of this makes sense
But somehow it works
Need you at my defence
This is my rebirth

I'm running backwards with scissors
Stepping right through the mirrors
Although our mind always differs
I gave her all I could give her

I'm running backwards with scissors
Stepping right through the mirrors
Although our mind always differs
I gave her all I could give her

None of this makes sense
But somehow it works
Need you at my defence
This is my rebirth

None of this makes sense
But somehow it works
Need you at my defence
This is my rebirth
