[Verse 1]
The engine hums a lonely tune
On asphalt rivers under moon
I press the pedal, feel the strain
But every road just leads to pain
The mirrors show a fading light
I'm driving backwards through the night
[Chorus]
Auto reverse, I'm going back
To find the love I lost on track
The gears grind slow, the tires spin
I'm trying to undo what's been
Auto reverse, I'm rolling home
To places I have always known
[Verse 2]
The streetlights blur in streaks of gold
A story that can't be retold
I shift the lever, hold my breath
This road is paved with my regret
The radio plays a broken song
I've been driving here too long
[Chorus]
Auto reverse, I'm going back
To find the love I lost on track
The gears grind slow, the tires spin
I'm trying to undo what's been
Auto reverse, I'm rolling home
To places I have always known
[Bridge]
But time won't let me rewind
The past is just a blur behind
I'm stuck in neutral, can't move on
The engine stalls, the hope is gone
[Chorus]
Auto reverse, I'm going back
To find the love I lost on track
The gears grind slow, the tires spin
I'm trying to undo what's been
Auto reverse, I'm rolling home
To places I have always known
[Outro]
The dashboard glows a fading red
I'm driving backwards in my head
Auto reverse, I'll never find
The peace I left so far behind
