You sent a pretty picture
Of the sunset from your window
Told me write a tune about it
Something sweet to soothe your sorrow
But these days are weighing on me
Clumsy circles like the laundry
And most nights I don't even sing at all

You sent a pretty picture
And you told me keep on fighting
Said one day you just might come out west
To sit and play beside me
But that duets a losing bet
The saccharine taste of stale regret
We made our bed in case you don't recall

Ohh it didn't have to end
And no, we can't be friends

But if you read the story backward
It ends with our first kiss
The rush of muffled laughter
Tequila on your lips

Yeah if you read the story backward
It almost just makes sense
If you ignore what happens after
Close your eyes and make a wish

You left a hurtful letter
On a bright bouquet of flowers
And when I got the urge to cry
I drowned it in the shower
In my head I drew a picture
Of good fortune in the future
But I never dreamt I'd climb the hill alone

I met a fortune teller
On the boardwalk up in Venice
She said i... i bore the trauma
On my aura like a blemish
I asked her for a wise word
So she charged me twenty dollars
And told me i should put it in a song

Ohh it didn't have to end
And no, we can't be friends

But if you read the story backward
It ends with our first kiss
The rush of muffled laughter
Tequila on your lips

Yeah if you read the story backward
It almost just makes sense
If you ignore what happens after
Close your eyes, make a wish

Pictures fading
Faces changing
Tights and tarot cards
Blink three times fast
I fly right back
To that first night at the bar
Pictures blurring
Time inverting
Candle wax and stars
Crimson clover
Though it's over
Ending where it starts

If you read the story backward
It ends with our first kiss
The rush of muffled laughter
Tequila on your lips

Yeah if you read the story backward
It almost just makes sense
If you ignore what happens after
Close your eyes and make a wish

Close your eyes
