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 Mm Mm 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 Mm Mm In reverse Mm Mm 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
