I just want to meet a backwards girl
who sands down mirrors in a backwards world
who’s flipped on her side, way out on the sidelines
who loves to live and lives to throw lifelines

I just want to know a backwards girl
who’s downright upset with the way my hair curls
but still rests her head on my weary frame
and strives to see past my backwards name

you look me in the eyes when I’m flipped around
you took me to dance when I was wearing a frown
don’t flip out just cuz I’m upside down

we’re reverse lovers in a backwards chorus
that sing so quietly no one can hear us

I just want to meet a backwards girl
who cuts the ribbon in a backwards world
