"Back To Back" lyrics

Let's forget
I forgot I could just lose it all
I can't stop
Fill my cup, throw it against the wall
I smash into a thousand pieces of me
No escape if I got nowhere to be
Drop to the floor and nod off praying for sleep
In my head I can't get rid of the beat, uh

Back to back with you
Tell me I'm the same
In the darkest room I sing for yesterday
Black and black and blue
Edges slip away
Concrete in my shoes won't let me off the chain
If I had to choose
If I have to change
I'll be standing back to back with you

Oh, guess what (Oh, guess what)
August comes, walks right in through the door
Skin peels off
In the sun, I feel a little raw
Play back those messages and look for a thread
What was real and what I wish I had said
Fingers in ears and say I'm listening, listing all my hangups
In the end I think I'd rather be dead, uh

Back to back with you
Tell me I'm the same
In the darkest room I sing for yesterday, yeah
Black and black and blue
Edges slip away
Concrete in my shoes won't let me off the chain
If I had to choose
If I have to change
I'll be standing back to back with you

With me, with everything, still won't believe
How could I lose? (How could I lose?)
How could that be? (How could that be?)
How 'bout a truce? Now let it in

Let's forget
I forgot

Back to back with you
Tell me I'm the same
In the darkest room I sing for yesterday
Black and black and blue
Edges slip away
Concrete in my shoes won't let me off the chain
If I had to choose
If I have to change
I'll be standing back to back with you
