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...
