Backwards and Blindfolded

The fireflies rise in the backyard
As we watch every sun disappear, we can hear every cricket for miles
How many times I’ve looked out that window
With my hands in a warm soapy sink and I’m thinking of what lies ahead
Backwards and blindfolded
I will always know the way
Backwards and blindfolded
I will always find the way
The juniper you brought back from the desert
That year that you traveled alone just for a new point of view
It’s growing wild along the walkway
Oh and the day that you planted it there was the first day I felt I was home
Backwards and blindfolded
I will always know the way
Backwards and blindfolded
I will always find the way
And the ground moves under our feet
But the same moon hangs over me
It’s the one thing I know you can see tonight
And the ground moves under our feet
But the same moon hangs over me
It’s the one thing I know you can see when I can’t see you
I’m looking down from another airplane
And all of the lights of the city at night look like fireflies
I miss the sound, the sound of your breathing
Oh and that sigh that you sigh every time you let go of another day
Backwards and blindfolded
I will always know the way
Backwards and blindfolded
I will always find the way
And the ground moves under our feet
But the same moon hangs over me
It’s the one thing I know you can see tonight
And the ground moves under our feet
But the same moon hangs over me
It’s the one thing I know you can see when I can’t see you
The ground moves under my feet
But the same moon hangs over me
It’s the one thing I know you can see when I can’t see you
