[Verse 1]
We're all streaming rivers now
But there's only one way through
I wanna be there when you call
But I'm afraid I'll never let you go
We were walking through the town
The people on the weekend slow
I couldn't understand just why
I was feeling like I might implode

[Chorus]
A life lived moving in reverse is strange
It's like I'm always looking back these days
Waiting for a reason
Looking forward now I'm sure you'll stay with me

[Verse 2]
We sat down at the library stairs
I could feel it crawling up my spine
I couldn't recognize myself
I could tell we didn't have much time
You were playing with your hair
I thought I might burst out and cry
I straightened up I was breathing deep
You were smiling as you walked inside

[Chorus]
A life lived moving in reverse is strange
It's like I'm always looking back these days
Waiting for a reason
Looking forward now I'm sure you'll stay with me

[Outro]
Everything is in reverse, a mirror showing you the curse again
I'll always be indifferent, this monumental sympathy instead
Everything is in reverse, like a mirror, the curse again
