verse 1 (Devlin)
When the sky breaks it rains
so just let the h2o splash upon the graves of all the souls I used to know
but now have passed away
Men say that time can heal a situation
but this pain is not a passing phase
now I'm curious, how many years a heart can ache
feel like a minotaur, meandering this darkend place
trying to find a way, to maybe find the light of day
If I could rewind then I'd re-live my life again
and sit and hold my nans hands, while she felt the pain
and say hello to old mates, behind the pearly gates
given the chance to glance back at my childish phase
I'd try and smile the way i smiled, just like a child again
before i had to say goodbye to anybody
and the loved ones I've lost, all had life within their bodies
my side was less lonely then
you wanna cry, well come and hold me then
I think I need the blessing of some holy men
(Diane)
'Cause everything is different now
I'd really like to tell you how
How I wanted you here by my side
I know what I said, but I lied
It looked like I laughed, but I cried
But I wish I could push rewind2 (Devlin)
If I had minutes on my hand, just like a time piece
I'd turn the clocks back and maybe try to find peace
as well as my i.d, so rewind me
just like a video cassette cause I'm upset that I ain't seen
some faces in a while, just apparitions in my dream
that ends abruptly when they try to hug me through the screen
of smoke that's engulfing me
like the coastline with its high tide
and you can see the sands and the oceans meet
No one told me when this ride began to hold my seat
time flies like emmet brown was in the drivers seat
you talk of irony, well now I'm lonley but I'm searching for my privacy
this life won't comply with me
I think I need some dead relatives, either side of me
to keep me company and guide me through the library
of never ending stories full of lies and deceit
hi ho silver, lone ranger riding to the beat
(Diane)
'Cause everything is different now
I'd really like to tell you how
How I wanted you here by my side
I know what I said, but I lied
It looked like I laughed, but I cried
But I wish I could push rewind3 (Devlin)
If I could rewind time to its slowest
I'd look at life at its highest and its lowest
so I could maybe try to recollect what made me who I am
besides a poet, besides a poet(Diane)
'Cause everything is different now
I'd really like to tell you how
How I wanted you here by my side
I know what I said, but I lied
It looked like I laughed, but I cried
But I wish I could push rewind
