"Reverse" lyrics

The tears would fall back in my eyes then
I would unhang up the phone
Then drive backwards on the highway
When I didn't know my world would explode
Then I'd feel you getting distant
And wonder if it's cause of her
Then we'd be dancing in the kitchen
And I'd hear you mumble those three words then

You and me, day and night
Wonderin' where you been all my life
Then we'd lock eyes for the first time
And everything's alright

If we ended at the start
We'd go backwards to the part
Where I still had a working heart
I'm just pretending
That I could unsay all those words
And you could undo all the hurt
Cause in that world we would've had a happy ending
Yeah we could've worked
If I loved you in reverse
Mmmm
Mmmm

But I keep on moving forward
Cause I guess that's what you do
When there's no way to do it over
And have it end the way I want it to
In the beginning it was magic
But somewhere in there you got cold
So sometimes I still imagine
That it's all in my control

Cause if we ended at the start
We'd go backwards to the part
Where I still had a working heart
I'm just pretending
That I could unsay all those words
And you could undo all the hurt
Cause in that world we would've had a happy ending
Yeah we could've worked
If I loved you in reverse
Mmmm
Mmmm
In reverse
Mmmm
Mmmm

The tears would fall back in my eyes then
I would unhang up the phone
I would start it with goodbye and
I would end it with hello
