Lirik Lagu 'Backwards' dari Materi Terbaru Rachael Yamagata
MUSISI New York Rachael Yamagata baru-baru ini mengumumkan album studio barunya setelah hampir 10 tahun. Album Starlit Alchemy akan dirilis pada 3 Oktober via Jullian Records. Album ini dimulai dengan lagu Backwards yang sudah dirilis, sebuah lagu yang telah lama dikerjakan Yamagata. Awalnya, lagu dirancang sebagai bagian dari sebuah musikal, sebagai pernyataan yang hening, sebuah refleksi tentang tarikan transformasi dan segala hal yang datang dengan meninggalkan sebagian duniamu.
Berikut lirik lengkapnya:
i can't be no use to you
if i can't be good for myself
i can't make it better
for anybody else
maybe it's our light's gone out
turned off in an empty house
nothings gonna change until i do
and i can't be no use to you
if i can't make this on my own
i can't make it better
if i can't face this all alone
and it would be so easy to stay easy
and that's what i fear
id never want to look back
and regret it all by staying here
maybe its our lights gone out
turned off in an empty house
back there's not a place that i can be
on our own - so far from home
from where we've been
i'm scared and yet i'm not alone
i know that you are here with me
inside my heart you'll always be
you're all i've ever known
i'm just afraid of slipping backwards
back there's not a place that i can be
all that i am is slowly turning
baby it's the last thing that i'd ever wanna do
is go ahead and leave you now
maybe it's the moment that you find a way to run
cause baby i can't turn around
maybe it's our light's gone out
turned off in an empty house
back there's not a place that i can be.(far)
