[Verse 1] Alarm at midnight Monster at three Dressed for a party Everyone already leaves I say hello To echoes and dust Every first step Feels like aftermath and rust [Chorus] I’m living in reverse I back into the hurt Replay the ending first Then learn what it was worth You’re walking out the door Before we even meet I’m living in reverse With fast hands and slow feet [Verse 2] Laugh at the punchline Then wait for the joke Save every message Before a word is spoke I miss your shadow More than your face I know the goodbye Before I taste your name [Chorus] I’m living in reverse I back into the hurt Replay the ending first Then learn what it was worth You’re walking out the door Before we even meet I’m living in reverse With fast hands and slow feet [Bridge] What if I could flip the reel Start on the spark Not the smoke I feel Would you stay If you saw me first? Or am I only whole When the story hurts? [Chorus] I’m living in reverse I back into the hurt Replay the ending first Then learn what it was worth You’re walking out the door Before we even meet I’m living in reverse Till you turn around for me
