Rewind
08. Emma Hewitt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see the flashing lights through the pouring rain
I've been awake all night now I'm on my feet again
So many years ago I've been down these streets
And I'm taking my time though I know they're waiting for me

Rewind this for a day
Remind me why we changed
I got a beat of a drum going through my head
I hear it echo on like all those words you said
It's like nothing's changed and there's a trick being played on me
But I'm a lifetime away from where I need to be

Rewind this for a day
Remind me why we changed





Rewind this for a day
Remind me why we changed
