[CHORUS]
I keep on running backwards, I keep on losing faith
I thought I had the answers, I thought I knew the way
My brother said be patient, my mother held my hand
I don t know what I m chasing, I don t know who I am
[VERSE 1]
Woke up this morning holding my head
Thinking last night is one I ll regret
Washing off the bad decisions, the blurry vision
The clues that I m still a mess
Spitting out the taste I have in my mouth
Knowing what this all is really about
Knowing there s an explanation, an expiration
I gotta figure shit out
[BRIDGE]
And they re asking me if I can see the darkness down below
And I know it s true, I say I do, when half the time I don t
Maybe I can t make what it may take to leave this thing behind
But I shut my eyes and cross each line and every time
[CHORUS]
I keep on running backwards, I keep on losing faith
I thought I had the answers, I thought I knew the way
My brother said be patient, my mother held my hand
I don t know what I m chasing, I don t know who I am
[VERSE 2]
Waking in the dead of night, I can t sleep
Sleeping in the light of day for like weeks
Reality was out of focus, I could be hopeless
Instead I gritted my teeth
I didn t have the patience left to explain
Didn t wanna wait while nobody came
I know the path ahead s uneven
But while I m breathing
I have to make my own lane
[BRIDGE]
And they re asking me if I can see the darkness down below
And I know it s true, I say I do, when half the time I don t
Maybe I can t make what it may take to leave this thing behind
But I shut my eyes and cross each line and every time
[CHORUS]
I keep on running backwards, I keep on losing faith
I thought I had the answers, I thought I knew the way
My brother said be patient, my mother held my hand
I don t know what I m chasing, I don t know who I am
[BRIDGE]
So I make it up as I go, ooh-oh, ooh-oh
I make it up as I go, ooh-oh, ooh-oh
So I make it up as I go, ooh-oh, oh-oh
I make it up as I go, as I go
[CHORUS]
Keep on running backwards, I keep on losing faith
I thought I had the answers, I thought I knew the way
My brother said be patient, my mother held my hand
I don t know what I m chasing, I don t know who I am
[OUTRO]
So I make it up as I go, ooh-oh, ooh-oh
I make it up as I go, ooh-oh, ooh-oh
So I make it up as I go, ooh-oh, oh-oh
I make it up as I go, as I go
