Lyrics Reverse Gabrielle Aplin

Reverse

I've sat and watched this city crumble
Just as it was being built
And the bigger it gets, the less it's thought of
I'm just scared of losing all that we have left

And the colours of these roads
are matching the rainy sky
We're too blind to see what's really here
In front of our eyes
And I hope some day, this will all reverse
And send us back to the times, before
Before we grew up and lost the novelty
of clear blue skies, and climbing trees
Can't you see what our lives have come to be?
Can't you see what our lives have come to be?

We used to just make friends so easily
Now they're judging anyone as how it's meant to be (?)
Our parents were always heros in our eyes
But T.V. and magazines soon changed our minds

And the colours of these roads
are matching the rainy sky
We're too blind to see what's really here
In front of our eyes
And I hope some day, this will all reverse
And send us back to the times, before
Before we grew up and lost the novelty
of clear blue skies, and climbing trees
Can't you see what our lives have come to be?
Can't you see what our lives have come to be?

I watched people I loved turn into rust
Wearing nothing, they go out after dusk
As if to be accepted, you need to sell your soul
They need to learn there's much more to this world
They need to learn there's much more to this world

And the colours of these roads
are matching the rainy sky
We're too blind to see what's really here
In front of our eyes
And I hope some day, this will all reverse
And send us back to the times, before
Before we grew up and lost the novelty
of clear blue skies, and climbing trees
Can't you see what our lives have come to be?
Can't you see what our lives have come to be?
