[Verse 1]

Your eyes like rivers flowing

Out to the sea, and just

Just like a waterfall, they hit you suddenly

And you said

Your heart lies at the bottom of the ocean floor

Yeah, it feels like you're drowning now

But I'll swim you to shore

Life has its way of crashing

Just like a wave, and I

Know that the current's strong

And pulls you every day, but I swear

Just wait a while, all the tides will subside

And those diamonds on your cheeks will wash away and dry

[Pre-Chorus]

When it all falls down

You'll be safe and sound

[Chorus]

You've been crying for some time

Let me make all your pain mine

We can put it in rewind

And leave it behind

If you just can't find the words

I can steal away your hurt

When it can't get any worse

Yeah, I'll put your tears in reverse

[Verse 2]

I'll stop the thunderstorm that

Lives in your head, I swear

Will take all of the darkness

And put it to bed, and you ask

What does the future hold, I

I never know, but I'll

Keep chasing rain until we run out of road

[Pre-Chorus]

When it all falls down

You'll be safe and sound

[Chorus]

You've been crying for some time

Let me make all your pain mine

We can put it in rewind

And leave it behind

If you just can't find the words

I can steal away your hurt

When it can't get any worse

Yeah, I'll put your tears in reverse

[Bridge]

Every tear that's on the floor

Will be stars up in the sky

'Cause I know you got it in you

I know you'll get it right

I know it's never easy

To act like you're afloat

When part of you is sinking

Yeah, I've been there, and I've been scared

When nights get longer, it ain't fair

But you'll swim through, you always do

And I'll be watching as you bloom

[Chorus]

You've been crying for some time

Let me make all your pain mine

We can put it in rewind

And leave it behind

If you just can't find the words

I can steal away your hurt

When it can't get any worse

Yeah, I'll put your tears in reverse

[Outro]

Oh yeah

Tears in reverse

Oh

Tears in reverse
