Backfire (Better with James) - Wild Rivers/James Vincent McMorrow

Composed by：Devan Glover/James Vincent McMorrow

Produced by：Wild Rivers/Gabe Wax

From the second we met I knew you'd be significant

Started out as a friend something was different

Folding laundry on the basement floor and splitting a cigarette

But only when we're drinking 'cause we swore on that

Never said it out loud secretly I was wishing it

But it was too hot to touch

Double edged

You were in my gut now you're stuck in my head

Can't sleep it off been wondering

Maybe if we never bet on better timing

Waiting for the other one to break the silence

Holding our breath until we turned blue

Then we woulda made it to the other side and

Even if we failed at least we'd know we tried it

I always wanted it to be you and I

Now I'm caught up in the backfire

It's so easy to lose your way

Drive like there's something the headlights in front of you

You can't reach

You roll to a stop just beside the lake

But it's too cold to swim water's edge

You're in my head close to the end

It's deep enough I'm diving in

Maybe if we never bet on better timing

Waiting for the other one to break the silence

Holding our breath until we turned blue

Then we woulda made it to the other side and

Even if we failed at least we'd know we tried it

I always wanted it to be you and I

Oh and if we did it all again

And nothing was the same

Would we end up here anyway?

Maybe if we never bet on better timing

Waiting for the other one to break the silence

Holding our breath until we turned blue

Then we woulda made it to the other side and

Even if we failed at least we'd know we tried it

I always wanted it to be you and I

Now I'm caught up in the backfire

Caught up in the backfire

Mm

Caught up in the backfire

Mhm mhm

I always wanted it to be you and I
