Lyrics The War on Drugs

The War on Drugs

In Reverse

You've been out on the street

Talkin' bout the war with me

And the background is at night

Don't want to hesitate

Will they tell me where you're hiding?

But through the haze there's no one there.

Wondering if you care.

Callin' out your name in the darkness

When I'm done with my time here

I'm going to keep staying strong

Through the railways

But I never mind going

And I realize now that the road is bare

And I hear it all through the grand parade

And I don't mind you disappearing

'Cause I know you can be found

We be liven' on the dark side of the street, damn.

When we livin' in the moment

And losing our grasp

Making it last with the grand parade in our past

Sometimes I wait for the cold wind to blow

As I struggle with myself right now as I let the darkness in

But I don't mind chasing you through the back ways for the keys

It evaporates and fades like a grand parade

And I don't mind you disappearing

When I know you can be found

When you livin' on the dark side of the street, damn?

We just livin' in the moment, making our past, losin' our grasp through the grand parade

I'll be here or I'll fade away

Never cared about moving, never cared about now

Not the notes I'm playing

Is there room in the dark, in between the changes?

Like a light that's drifting, in reverse I'm moving.
