Backslide

I don't wanna

Rat race, place to place, addin' weight
Tendencies on repeat, innit?
Benefit from a shoe with no lace
Take the seat with the crease in it

I don't mind if it's lonely
I don't mind if it's fair
I don't care, you control me
Leadin' me anywhere

I don't wanna backslide to where I started from
There's no chance I will shake this again

'Cause I feel the pull, water's over my head
Strength enough for one more time
Reach my hand above the tide
I'll take anything you have
If you could throw me a line
I should have loved you better
Do you think that now's the time you should let go?
It's over my head

Bad place, on a hundred-dollar bass
Kinda wishin' that I never did Saturday
Is that a stain? You should change
Are you doin' good?
Did you solve all of your problems?
Thanks for askin'
In a way, but
Accidentally uncovered a new one yesterday
What happened to what I brushed under the rug?
I used to be the champion of a world you can't see
Now I'm drownin' in logistics

I don't wanna backslide to where I started from
There's no chance I will shake this again

'Cause I feel the pull, water's over my head
Strength enough for one more time
Reach my hand above the tide
I'll take anything you have
If you could throw me a line
I should have loved you better
Do you think that now's the time you should let go?

I don't mind if it's lonely (it's over my head)
I don't mind if it's fair (you should let go?)
I don't care, you control me (it's over my head)
Leadin' me anywhere

I'll take anything you have
If you could throw me a line
I should have loved you better
Do you think that now's the time you should let go?

It's over my head
You should let go?
It's over my head

I don't wanna backslide
