Rewind
I Saved Latin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been doing the same thing now
For so long
Driving down the same road
For two years and a day
Every night I feel I have to rewind
I wake up in the morning
And I hit replay

I've seen it happen before
And I know it'll happen again
Why haven't I more
Of a life to live in

Now it feels like I am in the rain
And soaked through the skin
Like I've been locked outside
And frozen to the bone

That's why I feel
There's more to life than this

I've been doing the same thing now
For so long
Driving down the same road
For two years and a day
Every night I feel I have to rewind
I wake up in the morning
And I hit replay

I've seen it happen before
And I know it'll happen again
Why haven't I more
Of a life to live in

Now it feels like I am in the rain
And soaked through the skin
Like I've been locked outside
And frozen to the bone

That's why I feel
There's more to life than this

I've been doing the same thing now
For so long and I just can't get it out of my mind

I come home and I hit rewind
And do it all over again

I've been doing the same thing now
I have been repeating the same routine

For so long
Over an extended period of time

Driving down the same road
Continuously travelling the same path

For two years and a day
For exactly two years and one extra day

Every night I feel I have to rewind
Each evening I feel the need to revisit the past

I wake up in the morning
I arise at the dawn

And I hit replay
And repeat the cycle

I've seen it happen before
I have witnessed this occurrence previously

And I know it'll happen again
I'm aware that it will repeat once more

Why haven't I more
Why don't I possess a greater quantity of

Of a life to live in
A life in which to exist
