[Verse 1]
I was born in a blue coat
On a kitchen chair
My mama said, "Girl, don't fold"
So I learned to stare
Little hand-me-down shoes
On a cracked front step
Kept a house full of ache
And a throat full of yes
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept every name
Every scar, every day
If you hear me backwards
You might hear it say
[Chorus]
Play me back
Play me back
I was here for that
(play me back)
Play me back
Play me back
What I lost comes back
(play me back)
[Verse 2]
I kissed hard, then ran
Left a few doors bent
Carried чужие? Wait no. Need English. Let's continue clean.
I took bad advice
Like it was rent
Worked my pride to the bone
For a little more time
Gave my whole damn heart
To a half-lit sign
[Pre-Chorus]
I kept every name
Every scar, every day
If you hear me backwards
You might hear it say
[Chorus]
Play me back
Play me back
I was here for that
(play me back)
Play me back
Play me back
What I lost comes back
(play me back)
[Bridge]
And if you wind me under
I become a road
My old fear turns over
And the new me shows
There’s a house by the water
A ring on my hand
A laugh in the hallway
I don’t understand
[Final Chorus]
Play me back
Play me back
I was here for that
(play me back)
Play me back
Play me back
What I lost comes back
(play me back)
Play me back
Play me back
I can see ahead
(play me back)
