Rewritten
Teske Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can tell you′ve lived by the marks on your skin
These are like the pages of a book
The lines beside your eyes let me know that you have smiled
A little more than I ever could

And I know that you can't sleep at night
For the hollow bumps beneath your eyes
Tell me more than stories ever could

You are not an etch-a-sketch
These marks engraved upon your flesh
Are indeed what make me love you

And I want to

Read you like a book so
Let me take a look inside
Your little head
′Cause you don't need to be rewritten
If you could only listen
I would tell you this
You don't need to be fixed

One thing that I know
When a heart is always closed
No-one can get in
They just get out

So here I am stuck in between
Won′t you hold me close and see
I will heal you if you show me how

And I want to

Read you like a book so
Let me take a look inside
Your little head
′Cause you don't need to be rewritten
If you could only listen
I would tell you this
You don′t need to be fixed

And I wish you would notice
I would never let you go (never let you go)
And I wish I could show you
It's okay to take it slow

Read you like a book so
Let me take a look inside
Your little head
′Cause you don't need to be rewritten
If you could only listen




I would tell you this
You don′t need to be fixed
