"Reverse" lyrics
Jason Isbell and The 400 Unit Lyrics
(originally by Now It's Overhead)
In the distance, I hear a cryin' out
A choir of voices singing
Oh, you've done it now to satisfy the crowd
In a sleight of hand and a burst of light
I walk you through your motions
And you will rise tonight over the fires high
If you fall into their arms, you lose
Everything is coming unglued
And the hardest part's in front of you
Out of your hands giving up to
Reverse
They're closing in on every other side
Reverse
They're closing in on every other side
Draw the curtains tight, lock up in a room
In a lonely fit of certainty, they're onto you
Not any sudden moves
Don't remember when they were all right
In your tunnel vision, one solution crept up
You're holding out for love
But the cards close up before you move
You're adamant it's your time
Make a fuss with nothing to lose
And your eyes lock in to see it through
Your head in the mouth of a lion
Your knees giving in under you
Reverse
They're closing in on every other side
Reverse
They're closing in on every other side
A choir of voices singing
Oh, you've done it now to satisfy the crowd
In a sleight of hand and a burst of light
I walk you through your motions
And you will rise tonight over the fires high
If you fall into their arms, you lose
Everything is coming unglued
And the hardest part's in front of you
Out of your hands giving up to
Reverse
They're closing in on every other side
Reverse
They're closing in on every other side
Draw the curtains tight, lock up in a room
In a lonely fit of certainty, they're onto you
Not any sudden moves
Don't remember when they were all right
In your tunnel vision, one solution crept up
You're holding out for love
But the cards close up before you move
You're adamant it's your time
Make a fuss with nothing to lose
And your eyes lock in to see it through
Your head in the mouth of a lion
Your knees giving in under you
Reverse
They're closing in on every other side
Reverse
They're closing in on every other side
