[Verse 1]
I wish I was more than a cloud in your universe
I wish there was room in the sky for the two of us
'Cause when I hear you loud, it’s a hell of a sound
Oh, when I hear you loud, it’s a hell of a sound
If you were here right now, I’d be telling you how
We'll turn it all around

[Chorus]
If we were written in reverse
And the end was our beginning
Our love would be rehearsed
And the pain would turn to healing
If we were written in reverse
Would you find a way to say it?
Would you love me till it hurts?
And then maybe we could make it
You and I
(If we were written in reverse, ah)
Maybe we could make it
You and I

[Verse 2]
I wish we were still in New York on the avenue
Living in before we had known any other view
'Cause when I hear you loud, it’s a hell of a sound
Oh, when I hear you loud, it’s a hell of a sound
If you were here right now, I’d be telling you how
We'll turn it all around
[Chorus]
If we were written in reverse
And the end was our beginning
Our love would be rehearsed
And the pain would turn to healing
If we were written in reverse
Would you find a way to say it?
Would you love me till it hurts?
And then maybe we could make it
You and I
(If we were written in reverse, ah)
Maybe we could make it
You and I

[Verse 3]
If we were written in reverse
And the end was our beginning (Was our beginning)
Our love would be rehearsed (Love would be rehearsed)
And the pain would turn to healing
If we were written in reverse
Would you find a way to say it?
Would you love me till it hurts?
And then maybe we could make it
You and I
