Reverse

Can we go back to the beginning?
I think we should
We are walking and our heads are spinning
We feel so good

All your words are distant now
I would ask you why
All I find are muted strings
But how I try, and try, and try

I’ll befriend you in reverse
You know me way too well
Every time you see my face
It’ll fade a little

I’ll befriend you in reverse
The stories that I tell
Will seep out of your ears
But it won’t hurt a bit

I’ll erase this, bit by bit
When I fade from you, I’m gonna do a damn good job
All the days and nights rewind
I can’t stand to be either remembered or forgot
So soon enough, you’ll find
You never knew me at all

I’ll befriend you in reverse
You know me way too well
Every time you see my face
It’ll fade a little

I’ll befriend you in reverse
The stories that I tell
Will seep out of your ears
But it won’t hurt a bit

Let this go
It’s time to say goodbye
You do not need to know me

Let this go
It’s time to say goodbye
You do not love me

Let this go
Say you, say you, say you love me
