When I met you
I shoulda said goodbye
So I could spend the rest of my life getting older
Falling more in love and waiting for the day
That I could finally say "hi"

Yeah when I met you
I shoulda broke your heart
So I could go through every season picking up all of the pieces
Putting them back together
So they won't ever come apart

Cause when you fall in reverse then nobody gets hurt
Cause you start with the hurricane
And when you dance with the fire nobody gets burned
Cause your ashes have blown away

So I wanna fall in reverse
Wanna fall in reverse
I wanna fall in reverse
Wanna fall in reverse
Yeah

When I left you
I didn't even cry
And it sounds crazy
But the future is the past and so the last day
Is the first day of the magic of the rest of our lives

Cause when you fall in reverse then nobody gets hurt
Cause you start with the hurricane
And when you dance with the fire nobody gets burned
Cause your ashes have blown away

So I wanna fall in reverse
Wanna fall in reverse
I wanna fall in reverse
Wanna fall in reverse
Yeah

I'd rather be on a forever first date
With that uncontrollable feeling of butterflies
Than relive the sound of our last fight
Your headlights pulling out of the driverway not knowing if you'd turn left or right
Afraid of forgetting the color of your sad eyes on that last night
You told me that you fell out of my spell
Our love was high as heaven but eventually it fell
On that last night I saw you in that midnight motel
You took all of your stuff and told me I could go to hell
I said
"Ok, I'm there"
I'm there

Cause when you fall in reverse then nobody gets hurt
Cause you start with the hurricane
And when you dance with the fire nobody gets burned
Cause your ashes have blown away

So I wanna fall in reverse
Wanna fall in reverse
I wanna fall in reverse
Wanna fall in reverse
Yeah
