Lyrics

My Life in Reverse

Some things are worth the bruises

Some things are worth the hurt

I like the way your face looks towards me

Try just a little harder

Try and make this time for me

I like the way your glances deceive me

I gave myself away

And yes, I meant to give you warning

But what did I say

You can call me in the morning

I'm living my life in reverse

Make me a compilation

Make me do what you will

'Cause I like the way you use your fingers

Grant me a conversation

Grant me a shard of your life

'Cause I like the way your fringe shapes your features

I gave myself away

And yes, I meant to give you warning

But what did I say

You can call me in the morning

I'm living my life in reverse

I'm living my life in reverse order

And yes, I tried to warn ya

I'm living my life in reverse order

And since you ask, well I tried to warn her

Watching the light stretch through the curtains

Watching the evening fade

I like the way that you fold your body
