Rewind
Abigail Joy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You make me miserable
I wish I never saw your face when you walked through the door
(I′m first right?)
I wish I hated you
You make me miserable
I wish I never saw your face when you walked through the door
You're always on my brain
And if you keep this up I think I′m gonna go insane
And I wish that I could hit rewind
Oh I wish I could say what's on my mind
Oh but you always give me butterflies
But I know this is just not the right time
(This is just not the right time)
So I gotta hold it in
And it's killing me inside
Oh yeah oh hey
I wish I hated you
When you look in my eyes
But I just melt away like popsicles in summertime
I wish I hated you
When you smile at me
But I can′t get enough you′re making this so hard for me
And I wish that I could hit rewind
Oh I wish I could say what's on my mind
Oh but you always give me butterflies
But I know this is just not the right time
(This is just not the right time)
And if only I could know how you feel about me
Maybe it′d be easier to understand
(Understand)
Oh baby make it where I didn't have to fake it
Then I wouldn′t keep having to just pretend there's not feelings
Feelings
I wish I hated you
I wish I
I wish I so didn′t want you
But I do
I sure do
