Lagu "Backwards" karya Alexander Stewart mengungkapkan perasaan frustasi seseorang yang muncul dalam suatu hubungan dengan siklus putus lalu berbaikan. Namun, orang ini terus berjuang untuk membenarkan suatu hubungan yang terus-menerus terasa berjalan ke arah yang salah. Berikut lirik lengkapnya di bawah ini.

I don't wanna hit reverse
You've already got me in so deep
It's only gonna make it worse
We break up, make up, on repeat

Wait a minute
Am I losing my mind?
Tell me are you with it
'Cause you keep tryna rewind
Say you're coming over
Is that just another line?
(Is that just another line)

Yeah, we would talk all the way through the night
Pick you up and we drive
No I never thought we'd be stopping
You keep sayin' we're fine
But the look in your eyes
Oh, it just can't lie

I don't wanna hit reverse
You've already got me in so deep
It's only gonna make it worse
We break up, make up, on repeat

Oh-oh, oh-oh
We're going Backwards
Oh-oh, oh-oh
We're going Backwards
We're going Backwards

I get the feeling
That we're living in the past
And I'm kinda stressin'
Are we slipping through the cracks?
When we find a present
Is it ever gonna last?

Yeah, we would talk all the way through the night
Pick you up and we drive
No I never thought we'd be stopping
You keep sayin' we're fine
But the look in your eyes
Oh, it just can't lie

I don't wanna hit reverse
You've already got me in so deep
It's only gonna make it worse
We break up, make up, on repeat

Oh-oh, oh-oh
We're going Backwards
Oh-oh, oh-oh
We're going Backwards, oh

Talk all the way through the night
Pick you up and we drive
No I never thought we'd be stopping
You keep sayin' we're fine
But the look in your eyes
Oh, it just can't lie

I don't wanna hit reverse
You've already got me in so deep
It's only gonna make it worse
We break up, make up, on repeat

Oh-oh, oh-oh
We're going Backwards
Oh-oh, oh-oh
We're going Backwards
We're going Backwards
We're going Backwards
