Rewind
Rascal Flatts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wish I could reach up and reset that sun
Reverse these wheels go back and re-pick you up
Went by so fast oh so sweet
Make me wanna remake a memory
Wish I had me a time machine

Oh I float the moon back up in the sky
Put a cork back into that sweet red wine
Put your midnight hair back up
So you can let it fall one more time
Untouch your skin
Unkiss your lips and kiss 'em again
So good so right, this is one night
I'm wishing I could rewind

I turn back that radio dial reopen your door
Try to talk George Strait into giving us an encore
Re-spin you around replay that sound
Of you laughing when we hit the ground
I can see it now how bout we

Float the moon back up in the sky
Put a cork back into that sweet red wine
Put your midnight hair back up
So you can let it fall one more time
Untouch your skin
Unkiss your lips and kiss 'em again
So good so right, this is one night
I'm wishing I could rewind
Oh

I wanna re-fall and re-fly,
Baby re-live this night

Float the moon back up in the sky
Put a cork back into that sweet red wine
Put your midnight hair back up
So you can let it fall one more time
Untouch your skin
Unkiss your lips and kiss em again
So good so right, this is one night
I'm wishing I could rewind

Float the moon back up in the sky
I'm wishing I could rewind
Put a cork back into that sweet red
I wanna re-live this night

Oh whoa, oh whoa




So good, so right
Oh whoa, oh whoa

My wife and I played this at our wedding, and it still rings true. I wish I could rewind that day, it was truly amazing and we both miss it. It was such a fun day, everyone got along, had a good time and made time to be there for us.

@DBZluvz

well......... it may not be the same as that day but look forward to the day that you and your wife renew your vows, that day will be even more special because you'll celebrate more than your marriage but all the memories and goals you've made and reached to that point and (i don't know if you have children or not) you'll be able to share that day with the family that the two of you made or brought together from your love and union. God's blessings to you and your wife and by his grace you both will live a long successful and peaceful life together.

@titanfarmsgameing3800
