Walk it back
Walk it back
Walk it back

What
What would you
Have had me say
Instead of what I said?

Where
Where would I go
How could I follow that
Except to do what I did

Which is to
Walk it back
Walk it back
Hmmm... Walk it back

Time
Reverse and rewind
Erase and revise
And try to start again
You
Don't you turn this around
I have not touch the ground
In I don't know how long

You say to
Walk it back
Walk it back
Walk it back

Hmmm... Walk it back
Walk it back
Walk it back

Time
Time
Time, it cannot abide

You
You can't turn away
You've asked me to stay
But something needs to change

Why can't you?


Walk it back
Hmmm... Walk it back
Walk it back

Walk it back
Walk it back
Hmmm... Walk it back

R.E.M.

R.E.M. were an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry.

Berry quit the band in April 1997, as they were getting together to record demos for the album Up. He was not replaced on a permanent basis, but the band used an assortment of drummers in his place.
