whole song: Fm Fm Cm G
 
|Verse|
FmThe sun used to hang heavy on the pine needles here
FmLike honey dripping off a spoon, slow and severe
CmWe sat on the hood of that rusted sedan
GMapping out galaxies on the back of your hand
FmThere was no static then, the signal was clear
FmJust the hum of the mountain and you breathing near
CmThe cicadas were singing a violent, bright hymn
GAnd we were the kings of the reckless limb.
 
|Chorus|
FmOh, rewind the river, pull the water uphill
FmTake me back to the start where it was perfectly still
CmBefore the fog settled in and the gray washed the view
GBefore the silence got loud and replaced the sound of you
 
|Bridge|
It’s all mist and vapor,
a ghost in the grain
I’m sleepwalking backward
to find you again.
 
|Verse|
Now the kudzu is swallowing the shape of the porch
And I’m out here alone holding a flickering torch
The colors have bled out, the green turned to slate
I’m waiting for something that’s already late
Your laugh is an echo trapped under the bridge
Just a reverb tail rolling down off the ridge
I try to remember the sharp of your face
But the memory is drifting all over the place.
 
|Bridge|
If I play the record in reverse
Will it untangle the curse?
If I play the record in reverse
Will it untangle the curse?
Will the screen door fly open?
Will the glass become whole?
Will the damp earth release
the grip on your soul?
 
|Chorus|
Oh, rewind the river, pull the water uphill
Take me back to the start where it was perfectly still
Before the fog settled in and the gray washed the view
Before the silence got loud and replaced the sound of you
 
|Bridge|
It’s all mist and vapor,
a ghost in the grain
I’m sleepwalking backward
to find you again.
 
|Outro|
Ooooh, aaaah,
Just a moth in the light.
Ooooh, aaaah,
Just a trick of the eye.
 
|Chorus|
Oh, rewind the river, pull the water uphill
Take me back to the start where it was perfectly still
Before the fog settled in and the gray washed the view
Before the silence got loud and replaced the sound of you
 
|Bridge|
It’s all mist and vapor,
a ghost in the grain
I’m sleepwalking backward
to find you again.
