Backwards and Forwards Lyrics

Oh my god my honey
I think about it all the time
Evenings dark but sunny
Play back across my mind

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


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?

Oh my god my honey
Was I really so out of line?
The feeling once was heady
The feeling once was mine

In the currents, the ripples
The slow flow to the ocean
From the backwaters of our own lives
They pull us sideways and forwards
And any way they please, no direction feels true

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?

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

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
In a way that I'll always love
I play it backwards and forwards
And any way I please
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?
