Backward
You sent a pretty picture
And you told me keep on fighting
Said one day you might just come out west
To sit and play beside me
But that duet's a losing bet
The saccharine taste of stale regret
We made our bed in case you don't recall
Ohh it didn't have to end
And No, we can't be friends
But if you read the story backward
It ends with our first kiss
The rush of muffled laughter
Tequila on your lips
Yeah if you read the story backward
It almost just makes sense
If you ignore what happens after
Close your eyes, make a wish
Make a wish
Close your eyes
I met a fortune teller
On the boardwalk up in Venice
She said i... i bore the trauma
On my aura like a blemish
I asked her for a wise word
So she charged me twenty dollars
And told me i should put it in a song
Ohh it didn't have to end
And No, we can't be friends
But if you read the story backward
It ends with our first kiss
The rush of muffled laughter
Tequila on your lips
Yeah if you read the story backward
It almost just makes sense
If you ignore what happens after
Close your eyes
Make a wish
Make a wish
Make a wish
Close your eyes
Pictures fading
Faces changing
Tights and tarot cards
Blink three times fast
I fly right back
To that first night at the bar
Pictures blurring
Time inverting
Candle wax and stars
Crimson clover
Though it's over
Ending where it starts
But if you read the story backward
It ends with our first kiss
The rush of muffled laughter
Tequila on your lips
Yeah if you read the story backward
It almost just makes sense
If you ignore what happens after
Close your eyes
Make a wish
Oh, no
It didn't have to end...
And you told me keep on fighting
Said one day you might just come out west
To sit and play beside me
But that duet's a losing bet
The saccharine taste of stale regret
We made our bed in case you don't recall
Ohh it didn't have to end
And No, we can't be friends
But if you read the story backward
It ends with our first kiss
The rush of muffled laughter
Tequila on your lips
Yeah if you read the story backward
It almost just makes sense
If you ignore what happens after
Close your eyes, make a wish
Make a wish
Close your eyes
I met a fortune teller
On the boardwalk up in Venice
She said i... i bore the trauma
On my aura like a blemish
I asked her for a wise word
So she charged me twenty dollars
And told me i should put it in a song
Ohh it didn't have to end
And No, we can't be friends
But if you read the story backward
It ends with our first kiss
The rush of muffled laughter
Tequila on your lips
Yeah if you read the story backward
It almost just makes sense
If you ignore what happens after
Close your eyes
Make a wish
Make a wish
Make a wish
Close your eyes
Pictures fading

If you ignore what happens after
Close your eyes
Make a wish
Oh, no
It didn't have to end...
