Backwards (Reimagined) - Jorja Smith

I was high as the moon Falling down to you I was a sea of stars Shining bright for you I was on my way Back to you But I was only Falling backwards, now On my way back to you Falling Backwards, now On my way back to you Back to you I was down and out I was twisting down The vine for you In between and out You could have seen the light Shining just for you On my way back to you Through the thick and thin I would pull for you On my way just for you But I was only Falling Backwards, now On my way back to you Falling backwards now On my way back to you But I don't think i'll get too far Without gravity But I don't think i'll get too far Without you and me Falling backwards, now On my way back to you Falling backwards, now On my way back to you Back to you Back to you

I was sittin' on a barstool In a barbeque joint in Tennessee When this old boy walked in And he sat right down next to me I could tell he'd been through some hard times There were tear stains on his old shirt And he said do you wanna know what you get When you play a country song backwards? You get your house back You get your dog back You get your best friend Jack back You get your truck back You get your hair back You get your first and second wives back Your front porch swing Your pretty little thing Your bling bling bling and your diamond ring You get your farm and the barn and the boat and the Harley First night in jail with Charlie Sounds a little crazy A little scattered and absurd But that's what you get when you play a country song backwards Well I never heard it said quite like that It hit me in the face 'cause that's where I'm at I almost fell flat out on the floor He said "Wait a minute, that's not all, there's even more" You get your mind back Get your nerves back Your first heart attack back You get your pride back You get your life back You get your first real love back You get your big-screen TV, DVD and a washing machine You get the pond and the lawn the bail and the mower You go back where you don't know her It sounds a little crazy A little scattered and absurd But that's what you get when you play a country song backwards Oh, play that song! We sat there and shot the bull About how it would be If we could turn it all around And change this C-R-A-P You get your house back You get your dog back You get your best friend Jack back You get your truck back You get your hair back You get your first and second wives back Your front porch swing Your pretty little thing Your bling bling bling and your diamond ring You get your farm and the barn and the boat and the Harley First night in jail with Charlie You get your mind back Get your nerves back Your first heart attack back You get your pride back You get your life back You get your first real love back You get your big-screen TV, DVD, and a washing machine You get the pond and the lawn the bail and the mower You go back where you don't know her It sounds a little crazy A little scattered and absurd But that's what you get when you play a country song backwards

Where did your fate go? Was I just to fall on my own? If this room was full of lies Is that how you fooled me with love? I see how you changed me, I know what you said It don't make me hate you, I wish that it did I'm, I'm trying to find words, trying to make sense If I don't try, where do I find the lies between the lines? Why does it hurt so much? Won't understand, no, I can't let this go Oh, you made plans now, you can't shut me down Ah, you're advanced, but you can't tell them now No, you can't tell them how You face the pain while your days are numbered You took the highway, you've done it always You hurt this woman, you put your needs first And I've heard this many times in my head, but it still remains That you had all of this Oh-oh, you still search for bad Oh, you fought all of this You don't even know how bad it got So much for you're my one and only You'd say that you were all mine You knew that your words were hard to stand by I was scared of change, but then I complied even though it hurt I stayed and now I'm glad you have it all But there's things that you can't buy Glad that you said sorry, but habits they die hard Why, you want to offer me love that you don't have? Loving you exhausted me, baby, and you charged, you charged I'll take the high road, I've done it always Our time is old, there's only one way You hurt this woman, you put your needs first It's played out many times in my head, but it still remains That you had all of this Oh-oh, you still search for bad Oh, you fought all of this You don't even know how bad it goes So much for you're my one and only (You had all of this) (Oh, you still search for bad) So much for you're my one and only (You fought all of this) (You don't even know how bad it got) So much for you're my one and only I'll wait, I'll wait for faster Only I quit I'll wait, I'll wait for faster I'm all for that I'll wait, I'll wait for faster Only I quit I'll wait, I'll wait for faster I'm all for that
