Rewind

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

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 darkened 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 nan's 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 face

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 man

'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

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 ID, 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 driver's seat

You talk of irony

Well now I'm lonely

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 neverending stories full of lies and deceit

Hi Ho Silver, Lone Ranger riding to the beat

'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 and I cried

But I wish I could push rewind

If I could rewind time to its slowest

I'd look at life at its heights and its lowest

So I could maybe try to recollect

What made me who I am besides a poet

Besides a poet

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
