Kelela Lyrics
Since that day you're all I think about
Thought you were impossible 'til now
You're with me wherever I wake up
I'll take my chances, I know that I'm falling
I'm best when I'm next to you
'Cause I'm heating up, are you reading my mind
I know that I'm stalling, don't leave me behind
I'm still on the run, you don't know where I hide
I'm giving you eyes, but you misread the signs
And I can't rewind, baby (rewind)
I'll search everywhere for you, and I can't rewind
Baby, don't blink when I'm watching you, and I can't rewind
Watch you from afar, I just can't stop (I can't stop staring)
Had the words but then they slipped my mind (now I can't remember)
Every time we lock eyes our lights fade out
I'm getting stage fright, when you walk up to me
Boy, you're over the line
'Cause I'm heating up, are you reading my mind
I know that I'm stalling, don't leave me behind
I'm still on the run, you don't know where I hide
I'm giving you eyes, but you misread the signs
And I can't rewind, baby (rewind)
I'll search anywhere for you, and I can't rewind
Baby, don't blink when I'm watching you and I can't rewind
This ain't a mystery, I'm tryin' to keep my cool
You standing next to me, I'm about to break the rules
Turn my head to the right, now I'm looking for you
For the rest of the night
And I can't rewind
For the rest of the night
I can't rewind (rewind)
Rewind
Baby
I'll search everywhere for you, and I can't rewind (can't rewind)
Baby, don't blink when I'm watching you, and I can't rewind (can't rewind)
For the rest of the night
And I can't rewind (and I can't rewind)
For the rest of the night
I can't rewind
For the rest of the night
And I can't rewind
Oh, no, no, baby
The rest of the night
I can't rewind
The rest of the night
And I can't rewind
Can't rewind
I can't rewind
Don't blink when I'm watching you

@dimoteau well, check out her collab with Tosin Abassi. It's amazing.

Kelela isn't signed to a major record label she works with independent labels that doesn't have the amount of money the major labels have so they can promote the single worldwide.
