Maya Milan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's got no clue
It's in his eyes
When he looks at you
You don't kno-ow
Don't know anythin
You're telling him
He's all you need
You're lookin' at me
And we both kno-ow
I'm your everythin'
O-o-o-o
Are you gonna tell him
That you miss me?
Tell him that you kissed me?
O-o-o-o
Are you gonna tell him
That you miss me?
Tell him that you kissed me?
Am I out off my mind
For thinking we could try
Maybe we could take it back in time
Maybe you and I could press rewind
We were gold we were fire
And we only got one life
Maybe we could take it back in time
Maybe you and I could press rewind
You were wild
I was young
But does she know
All the things we've done
Have you told her?
Told her anything?
This fire hearts
Can't be tamed
I know you're burning up
When you here my name
She don't know it
Don't know anything
O-o-o-o
Are you gonna tell her
That you miss me?
Tell her that you kissed me?
O-o-o-o
Are you gonna tell her
That you miss me?
Tell her that you kissed me?
Am I out off my mind
For thinking we could try
Maybe we could take it back in time
Maybe you and I could press rewind
We were gold we were fire
And we only got one life
Maybe we could take it back in time
Maybe you and I could press rewind
Maya Milan's song "Rewind" is a song about a past romantic relationship and the possibility of rekindling it. The lyrics describe a situation in which the singer and her former partner are still attracted to each other, even though the partner is now in a committed relationship with someone else. The singer is questioning whether her former partner still has feelings for her and whether they could possibly try to make things work again.
The song starts off describing the current situation where the partner, who is with someone else, is still attracted to the singer. The partner is described as being clueless about the singer's true feelings, as it's evident in his eyes when he looks at her. The singer is torn between telling her former partner about her true feelings, or keeping it a secret to avoid any complications. The chorus of the song repeats the lyrics "Are you gonna tell him that you miss me? Tell him that you kissed me?" conveying an underlying tension and the possibility of a scandalous affair.
As the song progresses, the singer begins to reminisce about their past relationship with a sense of nostalgia. She thinks about how they were once "gold" and "fire" and how they could try and take it back in time if given the chance. At the same time, the song also acknowledges the fact that they’re both in different places now, with different people and different lives. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer still hoping that there is a chance for them to come together again and press rewind.
