lyrics

Once I get to the bottom of this constitution
once I close up the book and declare revolution
once I convince the jury of this point i'm proving

I will drive backwards for you

Once I find me a hobby or a new distraction
once I reload this pez dispenser i've been packing
once I rally the troops and call them all to action

I will drive backwards for you

'Cause everybody needs a chance for peace of mind
to feel upon the breeze a memory divine
but a pair of eyes they lock away
the fallout from a day that turned the tide

Once I finish the puzzle in the morning paper
once I solve all the mysteries and greatest capers
once I borrow a cup of sugar from my neighbour

I will drive backwards for you

'cause everybody needs a chance for peace of mind
to brush away the pleas that come in threes and fives
and the passenger door's riding hinges
barely hanging on to the side

I will drive backwards for you

The Real Shade Toronto, Ontario

The Real Shade is a Toronto-based indie-pop band.
