"Backwards" lyrics
Lil Silva & Sampha Lyrics
It's backwards how you cyclone me
Sinkhole, black hole, control me
It's backwards, I move in slowly
It's backwards, you say it's all me
Restricted
Restricted by your turn of phrase
Conflicted
Not by what you say, but how you say it
Oh, and I need it, no
No I don't need that C4
Explosive
But still I keep coming for more
It's backwards how you cyclone me
Sinkhole, black hole, control me
It's backwards, I move in slowly
It's backwards, you say it's all me
Why I feel like I can't ever tell a soul?
Why I feel like I can't ever break this mould?
Why I feel like all of this is set in stone?
Why I feel it's too late to telephone?
And talk about it like we're adults
But the child in me can't let it go
The child in me is not responsible
For all the hurt that you've ever known
That shotgun and you've let it go
Like anytime you feel vulnerable
You can't tolerate, you're uncomfortable
You can't tolerate the uncomfortable
It's backwards how you cyclone me
Sinkhole, black hole, control me
It's backwards, I move in slowly
It's backwards, you say it's all me
It's backwards how you cyclone me
Sinkhole, black hole, control me
It's backwards, I move in slowly
It's backwards, you say it's all me
It's all me
It's all me
It's all me
Woah
It's all me
It's all me
It's all me
(Break away my)
It's backwards how you cyclone me
Sinkhole, black hole, control me
It's backwards, I move in slowly
It's backwards, you say it's all me
Sinkhole, black hole, control me
It's backwards, I move in slowly
It's backwards, you say it's all me
Restricted
Restricted by your turn of phrase
Conflicted
Not by what you say, but how you say it
Oh, and I need it, no
No I don't need that C4
Explosive
But still I keep coming for more
It's backwards how you cyclone me
Sinkhole, black hole, control me
It's backwards, I move in slowly
It's backwards, you say it's all me
Why I feel like I can't ever tell a soul?
Why I feel like I can't ever break this mould?
Why I feel like all of this is set in stone?
Why I feel it's too late to telephone?
And talk about it like we're adults
But the child in me can't let it go
The child in me is not responsible
For all the hurt that you've ever known
That shotgun and you've let it go
Like anytime you feel vulnerable
You can't tolerate, you're uncomfortable
You can't tolerate the uncomfortable
It's backwards how you cyclone me
Sinkhole, black hole, control me
It's backwards, I move in slowly
It's backwards, you say it's all me
It's backwards how you cyclone me
Sinkhole, black hole, control me
It's backwards, I move in slowly
It's backwards, you say it's all me
It's all me
It's all me
It's all me
Woah
It's all me
It's all me
It's all me
(Break away my)
It's backwards how you cyclone me
Sinkhole, black hole, control me
It's backwards, I move in slowly
It's backwards, you say it's all me
