Backfire (Better with James)

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 would've 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 we're caught up in the backfire It's so easy to lose your way Drive like there's something in headlights in front of you You can reach You rolled 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 would've made it to the other side, and Even if we failed, at least we'd know we'd 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 would've 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 we're caught up in the backfire, oh Caught up in the backfire, hm Caught up in the backfire, hm, hm I always wanted it to be you and I
