Sweeney Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby why do you play with me
Are you too scared to say you're living a lie
Frame me for all of the pain and grief
And everything we have ever done
Baby girl, why'd you call my name
Baby girl, do you the same
Way about me
As I feel for you

Tell me are we going in circles
I can feel your touch
Every single night
I still see you girl
Running through my mind
I still think of you
Every single time
I drive down the five
Baby I don't wanna kiss you
Baby I don't want no issue
Baby I don't wanna miss you
But I do and that's the issue
So girl can we rewind
Can we rewind time
Can we rewind
Can we rewind time
Can we rewind
Can we rewind time
Can we rewind time
Can we rewind
If I fall, gotta rewind
I don’t wanna do no dates in the meantime
I don’t wanna see your face, but you still mine
Wait a sec, stop, never mind, throw a peace sign
I’m going crazy, I know that you notice
I might flood my AP with all this emotion
Throwback when I didn’t even know her
Now I’m stuck to her side like a holster, wow
Okay wait, say I don’t like her, but I really wanna date
Yep, no swiper, never steal anything
'Cept her heart, for the jewels Imma just swipe a chase
I’m in my bag, ain’t nobody boutta steal this
She liking how I make all my money off of real shit
Think I love her 'cause she so damn fine
If she really mess up, Imma just rewind
Baby I don't wanna kiss you
Baby I don't want no issue
Baby I don't wanna miss you
But I do and that's the issue
So girl can we rewind
Can we rewind time
Can we rewind
Can we rewind time
Can we rewind
Can we rewind time
Can we rewind time
Can we rewind
Baby why do you play with me
Are you too scared to say you're living a lie

Frame me for all of the pain and grief
And everything we have ever done

Overall Meaning

In the song "Rewind" by Sweeney, the lyrics delve into the complexities of a relationship filled with confusion, longing, and a desire to go back in time. The opening lines express the frustration and uncertainty the singer feels, questioning why the other person is playing games and unable to be honest about their true feelings. They feel accused of causing pain and suffering, even for actions they may not have done.

The chorus reflects the singer's yearning for a reversal of time, a chance to go back and change the course of their relationship. They long for the feeling of the other person's touch and constantly have them on their mind. Driving down Highway 5, a reference to a specific road, serves as a reminder of the memories and emotions attached to the relationship.

The second verse presents a conflicting narrative. The singer expresses a desire to move on and not see the person's face, but acknowledges that they still belong to them in some way. The lines "Wait a sec, stop, never mind, throw a peace sign" suggest hesitation and fluctuating emotions. They admit to being infatuated, even if they didn't know the person well at first, and now they're inseparable. The verse also hints at the singer's wealth and success, using references to expensive watches (AP) and the notion of swiping a chase, asserting their financial status.

The song's closing lines repeat the chorus, emphasizing the desire to rewind time and suggesting that the singer still holds onto hope for the relationship despite its tumultuous nature.

Line by Line Meaning

Baby why do you play with me
Darling, why do you toy with my emotions?

Are you too scared to say you're living a lie
Are you afraid to admit that you're living a deceitful existence?

Frame me for all of the pain and grief
Blame me entirely for all the suffering and sorrow

And everything we have ever done
And for every action and experience we've shared

Baby girl, why'd you call my name
Darling, why did you utter my name

Baby girl, do you the same
Darling, do you feel the same way

Way about me
Toward me

As I feel for you
As intensely as I feel for you

Tell me are we going in circles
Inform me if we are caught in a never-ending cycle

I can feel your touch
I can sense your touch

Every single night
Every night without exception

I still see you girl
I still envision you, my dear

Running through my mind
Galloping in my thoughts

I still think of you
You still occupy my thoughts

Every single time
Each and every time

I drive down the five
I traverse along route five

Baby I don't wanna kiss you
My love, I do not wish to engage in a kiss with you

Baby I don't want no issue
Darling, I do not desire any complications

Baby I don't wanna miss you
Baby, I do not want to long for your presence

But I do and that's the issue
Yet, I do miss you and that is the dilemma

So girl can we rewind
Therefore, my dear, can we go back in time

Can we rewind time
Can we reverse the progression of time

If I fall, gotta rewind
If I make a mistake, I must reset the situation

I don’t wanna do no dates in the meantime
I do not wish to engage in any romantic outings in the interim

I don’t wanna see your face, but you still mine
I do not desire to encounter your presence, yet you still possess my heart

Wait a sec, stop, never mind, throw a peace sign
Hold on a moment, cease the thought, disregard it, and offer a symbol of peace

I’m going crazy, I know that you notice
I am losing my sanity, and I am aware that you perceive it

I might flood my AP with all this emotion
I could overwhelm my Audemars Piguet watch with all these intense emotions

Throwback when I didn’t even know her
A flashback to a time when I was entirely unfamiliar with her

Now I’m stuck to her side like a holster, wow
Now I am firmly attached to her like a gun holster, astonishing

Okay wait, say I don’t like her, but I really wanna date
Alright, hold on, I claim not to have affection for her, but deep down, I desire to pursue a romantic relationship

Yep, no swiper, never steal anything
Indeed, I am not a swiper, I never take something unlawfully

'Cept her heart, for the jewels Imma just swipe a chase
Except for her heart, as for precious gems, I will merely engage in a thrilling pursuit

I’m in my bag, ain’t nobody boutta steal this
I am in my prime, and no one is capable of taking away my excellence

She liking how I make all my money off of real shit
She appreciates how I earn my wealth through authentic endeavors

Think I love her 'cause she so damn fine
I believe I am in love with her because she is incredibly attractive

If she really mess up, Imma just rewind
If she truly makes a mistake, I will simply turn back time
