Erase And Rewind
♫Ashley Tisdale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't want to, I don't want to
I don't want to freak you out
But I (but I, but I)
Think I might have said too much
Didn't mean to, didn't mean to
Think I might have said it's you
And I (and I, and I)
Guess I should leave this behind
Guess I should erase and rewind
But somehow I can't seem to stay away
I don't want to sound desperate but I am
So say that you'll come around
Guess I should erase and rewind
Erase and rewind
I don't wanna stand in line
Like I used to, like I used to
I don't wanna have to scream
And shout (and shout, and shout)
Cause I'm the kind of girl that sticks
Like a tattoo, like a tattoo
Yeah I'm the kind of girl that wears
On your arm, arm
Guess I should leave this behind
Guess I should erase and rewind
But somehow I can't seem to stay away
I don't want to sound desperate but I am
So say that you'll come around
Guess I should erase and rewind
Erase and rewind
You never do return my calls
Just like we never met at all
No matter what I'll always wait for you
I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you
I don't wanna feel like this
I don't want to (Yea)
Guess I should leave this behind
Guess I should erase and rewind
But somehow I can't seem to stay away
I don't want to sound desperate but I am
So say that you'll come around
Guess I should erase and rewind
Erase, erase and rewind
Guess I should leave this behind
Guess I should erase and rewind
But somehow I can't seem to stay away
I don't want to sound desperate but I am
So say that you'll come around
Guess I should erase and rewind
Erase and rewind
The song "Erase and Rewind" by Ashley Tisdale is about a woman who is struggling with her feelings for someone she has possibly told too much to. She expresses her desire to erase and rewind her actions, pleading for forgiveness and hoping that the person will come back to her. Throughout the song, she demonstrates a kind of desperation that comes from the pain of unrequited love.
The lyrics "I don't want to sound desperate but I am" encapsulate the feeling of the song. The woman is aware of how she is coming across, but she cannot help how she feels. She is stuck in a cycle of hope and disappointment, continually waiting for the person to come back to her.
The phrases "Guess I should leave this behind/Guess I should erase and rewind" are repeated several times throughout the song, emphasizing the woman's desire to undo what she has done. The use of tattoo imagery in the lines "Like a tattoo, like a tattoo/Yeah I'm the kind of girl that wears/On your arm, arm" suggests a kind of permanent attachment to the person she is referring to.
Overall, "Erase and Rewind" expresses the pain of unrequited love and the struggle to move on when feelings remain. The song captures a sense of longing and desperation that is relatable to anyone who has loved and lost.

I'm the kind of person that leaves a lasting impression
On your arm, arm
In your memory
You never do return my calls
You never get back to me
Just like we never met at all
As if we never had a connection
No matter what I'll always wait for you
I'll always be here for you
I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you
I'll be patient and wait for you
Erase, erase and rewind
Let's forget the past and start again

Hey, what did you hear me say?
You know the difference it makes
What did you hear me say?
Yes, I said it's fine before
But I don't think so no more
I said it's fine before
I've changed my mind
I take it back
Erase and rewind
'Cause I've been changing my mind
Erase and rewind
'Cause I've been changing my mind
I've changed my mind
So, where did you see me go?
It's not the right way, you know
Where did you see me go?
No, it's not that I don't know
I just don't want it to grow
It's not that I don't know
I've changed my mind
I take it back
Erase and rewind
'Cause I've been changing my mind
Erase and rewind
'Cause I've been changing my mind
Erase and rewind
'Cause I've been changing my mind
Erase and rewind
'Cause I've been changing my mind
Erase and rewind
Erase and rewind
I've changed my mind
