[Verse 1]
Let's forget
I forgot I could just lose it all
I can't stop
Fill my cup, throw it against the wall
I smash into a thousand pieces of me
No escape if I got nowhere to be
Drop to the floor and nod off praying for sleep
In my head I can't get rid of the beat, uh

[Chorus]
Back to back with you, tell me I'm the same
In the darkest room, I sing for yesterday
Black and black and blue, edges slip away
Concrete in my shoes won't let me off the chain
If I had to choose, if I have to change
I'll be standing back to back with you

[Verse 2]
Oh, guess what (Mmm, guess what)
August comes, walks right in through the door
Skin peels off (Oh, yeah)
In the sun, I feel a little raw
Play back those messages and look for a thread
What was real and what I wish I had said
Fingers in ears and say I'm listening, listing all my hangups
In the end, I think I'd rather be dead, uh
[Chorus]
Back to back with you, tell me I'm the same
In the darkest room, I sing for yesterday, yeah
Black and black and blue, edges slip away
Concrete in my shoes won't let me off the chain
If I had to choose, if I have to change
I'll be standing back to back with you

[Bridge]
With me, with everything, still won't believe
How could I lose? (How could I lose?)
How could that be? (How could that be?)
How 'bout a truce? Now let it in

[Pre-Chorus]
Let's forget
I forgot

[Chorus]
Back to back with you, tell me I'm the same
In the darkest room, I sing for yesterday
Black and black and blue, edges slip away
Concrete in my shoes won't let me off the chain
If I had to choose, if I have to change
I'll be standing back to back with you
