running backwards

do - do - do - do
do - do - do - do
Is this what adults do?
Is this what adults do?

do - do - do - do
do - do - do - do
Is this what adults do?

Running backwards
Down the hallway
Meeting time 12 o’clock,

Running backwards
Down the hallway
To the bathroom
Back again.

I’m running backwards
Down the hallway
Maybe call a friend

Running backwards
Down the hallway
Maybe call again

Was about this time
Two summers ago
What you didn’t say
Told me all I need to know

do - do - do - do

do - do - do - do
do - do - do - do
Is this what adults do?
Is this what adults do?

Running backwards
Down the hallway
Getting your way never ends

I’m running backwards
From the doorway
To the place where I grew up

Running backwards
Down the hallway
Say hello to a friend
And say goodbye again

...To all your pretentious friends
Who never talk to me at parties
’Cause they know me already
And it's such a fucking pity
’Cause I'm so fucking interesting

And I’m staring at the sweat on her neck
And the scar on her leg
And I’m watching you talk
With my words in your mouth
And my thoughts in your head

yea- My words in your mouth
My thoughts in your head
My words on your lips
My thoughts in your head
My words in your mouth

Running backwards
Down the hallway
Meeting time twelve o’clock

Running backwards
Down the hallway
To the bathroom
Back again

Running backwards
Down the hallway
Say hello to a friend

I'm running backwards
To the doorway
Say goodbye again.

Think I met God today
Guess I feel slightly strange

Think I met God today
Guess I feel slightly strange

I picture him there
In his little house in the clouds
And I talk to him
’Cause he's my friend

And he only likes people who are his friends
’Cause if you don't talk to him
You know it's
Not going to work out right
You're going to have a nightmare of a life

You know cause he's a bloke in the clouds
Looking down on you
Like I do

Yea - so I met God okay
And now he’s my mate
And here he is...

Yes I feel slightly strange
Think I met God today
Guess I feel slightly strange

And you're in your world
And I’m in mine
You can come and visit me
sometime

Running backwards
Down the hallway
Meeting time twelve o’clock

I’m running backwards
Down the hallway
To the bathroom
Back again

I’m running backwards
Down the hallway
Meeting time twelve o’clock
Wishing I could grow up.

I believe in
Little green men

I believe in
Little green men
Seen them on my playstation

I believe in
Little green men
Here they come again.
