You lit the fire
Then drank the water
You slammed that door and left me standing all alone
We wrote the story
We turned the pages
You changed the end like everybody said you would

I should have seen it coming
It should have sent me running
That's what I get for loving you

If I had a time machine and
If life was a movie scene
I'd rewind and I'd tell me run
We were never meant to be
So if I had a time machine
I'd go back and I'd tell me run run

I got your letters
I got your words
I stacked them high and lit them all and let them burn
Your broken sorrys don't mean a thing
You made that bed
Good luck falling back asleep

I should have seen it coming
It should have sent me running
That's what I get for loving you

Chorus

Oh your love it got me higher
Then it drove me up the wall
But the higher up you go
The further you will fall
Chorus

Heard this in a hotel lobby, of all places. Immediately tried to start memorizing lyrics so I could Google it later. Not surprised to hear it was Ingrid Michaelson. Her music never disappoints.

[jordanhoughton]

One of the few songs that plays at the grocery store that's actually good. What a banger!

[tiffanybedolla]

Saw her perform this yesterday in San Francisco, let me tell you that she sounds much more amazing live!!! She's an amazing performer with a beautiful soul <3

[friendnappa]

All of her songs are catchy with meaning. That's something hard to accomplish. Love you Ingrid!

[Syrin]

This song is MASSIVELY under appreciated.   This really rocks, and that's saying something coming from since I listen to Seether, Theory of a Deadman, Puddle of Mudd, The Pretty Reckless, etc.   This song just rocks.

I was eating lunch in Taco Bell with my family, and this song came on as part of the digital collection that branch plays. I was knocked out by the song. How had I missed this ! ??? I've been posting it on social media ever since. Great songwriting, great vocal, great arrangement !

[lesliemonster]

THIS SONG IS COMPLETELY AWESOME! I really, really love the use of the saxophone and that addictive, driving beat. :)

[feliciamacdonald]

I fell in love with this song at my they play it constantly

[codymerryman]

Did you know that this song has re-entered the AC and Hot AC charts?

Just goes to show what a great and catchey song this is.

[AtheistBaby]

Best song of the album in my opinion! 

[avipruzansky]

[alexcarabetta]

Ingrid Michelson-
You are AMAZING!!! I don't get why they don't play this on the radio! I mean, it RULES!!! Plus, I love the sax ;)

[woe-is-mia]

I hear this literally everyday at work and I never knew what was being said. All I knew was "go back" "time machine" and "I'd tell myself" so it's nice to have some context to the words 😂

[paddygreenfield]

Her best album yet! This album is Shawne Merriman Lights Out!

[DangitBobby]

Heard this on the radio, a couple weeks back. Can't get it out of my head!

[SkiKoala]

I heard this playing as overhead music at a CVS. Shazamed it and immediately added it to my playlist.

[sunspotdawn]

Reminds me of when the love runs out.
She must have written it too.
Thanks joan.
