Bring Me Backwards - Ellis Paul

Street corner, cityside lane

People cross borders

When green lights change

And isn’t that strange

A face on someone

I almost said your name

Can you blame me?

But I was foiled again

Bring me backwards

I can’t fool time

I’m walking in circles

I’ve committed no crime

Bring on the witness

The truth is divine

You stand there bleeding

But the blood is mine

And you’d say

«Pain is just a relative thing»

I’d say, «Thank you, Mr. Einstein»

You go on about space

This place in time

But that’s no way to explain it

Believe me

When you’re mining it

'Cause it’s all feel

Not thought

But there I’m caught

Trying to untangle it
