Reverse
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And in my ignorance
I thought that I'd found bliss
Yeah I was drunk the night when I
Thought I caught a glimpse of you
Up on the roof top
Painting pictures of memories
And I know you lie to me
But I love the stories
Holding out for something more
Like a drug that I abuse
It's crazy but it's all we know
It's broken but it's true, yeah!
You could save my life If you stay all night
But you don't know me in the morning
You could read my mind
You can make my heart beat
But you're never going to own it
Let me know
Let me know
Are you out? Are you in?
Will you say so?
Yeah, we can't hold on and we can't let go
Stuck, in reverse
Your broken glass shines like diamonds in the streets
It's a brilliant distraction from all of this deceit
And I, I think it's crazy how we took it way to far
Is it naïve to want to hit rewind and get back to the start?
Holding out for something more
Like a drug that I abuse
It's crazy but it's all we know
It's broken but it's true yeah!
You could save my life If you stay all night
But you don't know me in the morning
You could read my mind
You can make my heart beat
But your never going to own it
Let me know
Let me know
Are you out? Are you in?
Will you say so?
Yeah, we can't hold on and we can't let go
Stuck, in reverse
Hit Reverse, hit Reverse, hit Reverse it
Hit Reverse, hit Reverse, hit Reverse it
Hit Reverse, hit Reverse, hit Reverse it
Hit Reverse, hit Reverse, hit Reverse it
You're alone with everybody
You're the one that's broken hearted
Can you even see what you do to me?
If your stuck in the middle of all the hurt and you've had enough
All it takes is one word
All it takes is one word
You could save my life If you stay all night
But you don't know me in the morning
You could read my mind
You can make my heart beat
But your never going to own it
Let me know
Let me know
Are you out? Are you in?
Will you say so?
Yeah we can't hold on and we can't let go
Stuck, in reverse
Hit Reverse, hit Reverse, hit Reverse it
Hit Reverse, hit Reverse, hit Reverse it
Hit Reverse, hit Reverse, hit Reverse it
Hit Reverse, hit Reverse, hit Reverse it
(Hit Reverse it)
