Backslide (Drumless) Songtext
von twenty one pilots

I don′t wanna -

Rat race, place to place, adding 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
Leading me anywhere

I don′t wanna backslide to where I've 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′ve 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
Kind of wishing that I never did Saturday
Is that a stain? You should change
Are you doing good? Did you solve all of your problems?
Thanks for asking, 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 drowning in logistics

I don't wanna backslide to where I′ve 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've 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
(Leading me anywhere)

I′ll take anything you have if you could throw me a line
I should've 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
