Story behind the song
I literally saw a man walking backwards on the street and that's what sparked the song.
Lyrics
I saw a man walking backwards trying to fix his past
He reminded me of myself when I was just too scared to ask
About things I didn't understand
About growing to be a better man
About second chances and regret
So now I'm sitting near writing a song, hoping you can hear
I've seen trying times and when I left unscathed
I started looking for you again my dear
I met a man stealing glances trying to find his past dear
He reminded me of myself when I was just too afraid to be near
And tell her when she looked beautiful
And tell her how I missed her so
And tell her that I will always be faithful
So this time around I won’t make the same mistakes
and watch you leave
I’ll face these fears to be able to see
that our grains of sand will run for infinity
I wonder how it would be to sing to you
I wonder how it would be to steal glances from you
And I wonder how it would be to tell you
That you're beautiful
Oh so beautiful to me
