[Verse 1]
Painted walls
Vinyl plates and busy days
Scattered across the hall
Movie nights
Blushing face and a lack of time
Our love didn't last that long

[Refrain]
What could I have said
To bring you back to me?

[Verse 2]
Scattered halls
Dinner plates and shades of gray
Paint the walls
Lack of time
Against the race on our movie nights
Before you bring me back home

[Refrain]
What could I have said
To bring you back to me?
(Hm-mm, hm-mm)
What could I have said
To bring you back to me?
[Chorus]
I saw your hands in the rearview mirror
While I was leaving the party, you were saying
We'd look back years from now and say it's fine (Hm, hm, hm)
What could I have said to bring you back to me?

[Verse 3]
Hmm, you could'vе told me then
It was all too much to ask, I tried
You hatе the conversations
Said, "Living here's the best", but you lied, mm

[Refrain]
What could I have said
To bring you back to me?
(Hm-mm, hm-mm)
What could I have said
To bring you back to me?

[Chorus]
I saw your hands in the rearview mirror
While I was leaving the party, you were saying
We'd look back years from now and say it's fine (Ooh, oh-oh-ooh)
I saw your hands in your rearview mirror
Headed north in your beat-up 4Runner
Going back home where you belong, I said it's fine (Hm, hm, hm)
[Outro]
What could you have said
To keep you here with me?
What could I have said
To bring you back to me?
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
