Mark Graham Love to hear Shane’s voice (in all senses) in this fun, layered, smart and accessible song. The whole album and performances (wish I could blink to Athens) can’t come soon enough but this (and all his other work) will hold us until then. Favorite track: Walk Back Words.

lyrics

I walked back the words I said to you
I walked back the words I said to you
There's a time and a place
And we both know
That saving face
Is not
My
Strong
Suit

I'm walking backwards
I'm walking back words

Will you walk back the words that you said
to me?
Will you walk back the words that you said
to me?
It's not necessary
No Apologies
From the right side
Of history

I'm walking backwards
I'm walking back words
