Rewind

(Album: Toothpick - 2016)

I see your face, I'm like, happy to see ya
You say it back, and like that, you're agreeing
When really, you're a stranger to me
And I to you, I mean, I guess that's what time'll do
But let's pretend nothing ever changed
Let's take some shots of our yesterdays
Let's reminisce up until 4AM
Pour some vodka and pretend it's a DeLorean
Can we delay our tomorrows?
Get wasted off relating nostalgia
And when we kiss, it's like we're back in a car
In high school with some weed and a package of condoms

You can use me
I can be your rewind
If you can be mine, like a fiend and a pinch to the sinus
If you powdered the past, it'd be a hit overnight
Alright

I'm torn up
Been shown up
I'm praying now
I'm older
It's colder
I say aloud
Everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna be fine

Tell me everything you're thinking
Tell me 'bout your dreams and how they seem to
Drift away like a bottle 'cross the sea
How you thought it'd all be different, but it wasn't meant to be
You're getting older and you fear it now
Like you're molding with every wrinkle that the mirror show
You tell me, 'getting older as a woman, ya
Go from cat calls, to no one even looking
Like I'm rotting somehow
And you're only 25, but time's not slowing down
And when them crows' feet deepen, you sink into the crowd
Like you only live to 30, after that, you're a shadow

So you wish to go back
So you wish to rewind
And hear a whistle when you're passing some guys
Shit, if you powered the past, it'd be a hit overnight
Alright

I'm torn up
Been shown up
I'm praying now
I'm older
It's colder
I say aloud
Everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna be fine

Yeah, let's run away
Let's turn the lights off and pretend we're some other age
When everything was certain
When Oz was like a God and not a man behind a curtain
When all of us had moms that seemed immortal
Before our friends were taken or we were taken from 'em
Before we had to learn and cope with limits that we have
Before when we believed the sermon spoken by the pastor
Before we had to ask our selves, can we actually make it?
When naive was something called imagination
When a dream was something more than ass in Vegas
When sharing something wasn't masturbation

Can you take me back?
If I can help you rewind
Can we pretend that we're young and alive
Shit, if you powdered the past, it'd be a hit over night, alright

I'm torn up
Been shown up
I'm praying now
I'm older
It's colder
I say aloud
Everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna be fine
Everything's gonna be fine
