Walking backwards down the road
Looking all around
Never thought I'd wind up
Walking backwards down the road
Leading out of town
Oh, I've just got to go

I left a note behind me in your mailbox
When you wake up, I'll be gone
I hope that you'll be happy with your new love
I'm just happy hanging on

Everywhere I look
There are memories of you
And I can't take it

That's why I'm walking backwards down the road
Looking all around
Never thought I'd wind up
Walking backwards down the road
Leading out of town
I've just got to go

How can I stay and watch you walk together
When I pass you on the street?
How can I go to parties or a movie?
I just panic when we meet

Somewhere there's a place
I can get over you
And I must find it

That's why I'm walking backwards down the road
Leading out of town
Never thought I'd wind up
Walking backwards down the road
Feeling so low down
Feeling so low down
Walking out of town

Walking backwards
Walking backwards
