[Verse 1]
Been thinking little thoughts
Keep on walking, trying to stand up
Pay attention to the details
We go slowly, slowly down
Been thinking little thoughts
Keep on walking, trying to stand up
Pay attention to the details
We go slowly down
[Chorus]
I'll go back if you ask
I'll go back if you ask me
I'll go back if you ask
I'll go back if you ask me
I'll go back if you ask
I'll go back if you ask me
I'll go back if you ask
I'll go back, back, back, b-b-b-backwards
[Verse 2]
This world ain't just m-m-m-made of facts
Every half hour is a countdown
If it's 'cause my age then you're a coward
If it's 'cause my age then you're a coward
If it's 'cause my age then you're a coward
I haven't got the guts to stand alone
[Chorus]
I'll go back if you ask
I'll go back if you ask me
I'll go back if you ask
I'll go back if you ask me
I'll go back if you ask
I'll go back if you ask me
I'll go back if you ask
I'll go back, back, back, b-b-b-backwards
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I'll go back if you ask
I'll go back if you ask me
I'll go back if you ask
I'll go back if you ask me
I'll go back if you ask
I'll go back if you ask me
I'll go back if you ask
I'll go back, back, back, b-b-b-backwards
