If I woke up in the mornin'
And the world was back to front
There was sunshine in the evenin'
And the moon came out for lunch
I wouldn't mind walkin' backwards with you
At least we'd always know where we'd be goin' to
We could talk till we forget how to talk
And we could learn to laugh again
Like when we were children
We could learn to dance again
Like nobody is watchin'
If everyone was gettin' young
There'd be a smile on your face
If all the friends that passed away
Came back to this place
We'd be puttin' down the daisies
Drinkin' milk and feelin' lazy
There's no sense in any senses
What's the use in independence?
We could play of the tears that came
We could walk till we forget how to walk
And cool till we forget anything at all
And we would laugh again
Like when we were children
We could learn to dance again
Like nobody is watchin'
We could learn to look right
Into each others eyes
'Cause we got nothin' to hide
We got nothin' but to laugh again
Like when we were children
Like when we were children
Back to front, front to back
Will you come backwards with me
Backwards with me?
Front to back, back to front
Will you come backwards with me
Backwards with me?
We could learn to laugh again
Like when we were children
We could learn to dance again
Like nobody is watchin'
We could learn to laugh again
Like when we were children
We could learn to smile again
Like nobody is watchin'
Backwards with me
And the world was back to front
There was sunshine in the evenin'
And the moon came out for lunch
I wouldn't mind walkin' backwards with you
At least we'd always know where we'd be goin' to
We could talk till we forget how to talk
And we could learn to laugh again
Like when we were children
We could learn to dance again
Like nobody is watchin'
If everyone was gettin' young
There'd be a smile on your face
If all the friends that passed away
Came back to this place
We'd be puttin' down the daisies
Drinkin' milk and feelin' lazy
There's no sense in any senses
What's the use in independence?
We could play of the tears that came
We could walk till we forget how to walk
And cool till we forget anything at all
And we would laugh again
Like when we were children
We could learn to dance again
Like nobody is watchin'
We could learn to look right
Into each others eyes
'Cause we got nothin' to hide
We got nothin' but to laugh again
Like when we were children
Like when we were children
Back to front, front to back
Will you come backwards with me
Backwards with me?
Front to back, back to front
Will you come backwards with me
Backwards with me?
We could learn to laugh again
Like when we were children
We could learn to dance again
Like nobody is watchin'
We could learn to laugh again
Like when we were children
We could learn to smile again
Like nobody is watchin'
Backwards with me
