Written In Reverse
Tiësto Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish I was more than a cloud in the universe
I wish there was room in the sky for the two of us
'Cause when I hear you loud it's a hell of a sound
Hear you loud it's a hell of a sound
If you where here right now
I'll be telling you how
Well turn it all around
If we were written in reverse
And the end was our beginning
Our love would be rehearsed
And the pain will turn to healing
If we were running in reverse
Would you find a way to say it
Would you love me till it hurts
And then maybe we could make it
You and I

If we were written in reverse ah ah

Maybe we could make it again
You and I

I wish we were sued in New York on the Avenue

Living in before we had known any other view

'Cause when I hear you loud it's a hell of a sound
Hear you loud it's a hell of a sound
If you where here right now
I'll be telling you how
Well turn it all around

If we were written in reverse
And the end was our beginning
Our love would be rehearsed
And the pain will turn to healing
If we were written in reverse
Would you find a way to say it
Would you love me till it hurts
And then maybe we could make it
You and I

If we were written in reverse

Baby we could make it
You and I

If we were written in reverse
And the end was our beginning
Our love would be rehearsed
And the pain will turn to healing

If we were written in reverse
Would you find a way to say it
Would you love me till it hurts




And then maybe we could make it
You and I
