Pause

(album: Safetysuit - 2016)

I don't wanna lose you
But, no, I can't keep you here
It's like I'm sitting watching ships go by just to disappear
I wanna hide out
Lock myself away
And forget about the hard times
And the things you didn't say

So save all your tears, love
Cause I just can't handle it
I don't know how to say goodbye, so this might just be the end of it
I'm on the way out
I'm gonna let you in
But if we never look in the mirror
We'll never see where we've been
I wish that we could rewind

So every time you hear this song on the radio
Hit the pause, and, hit the pause
And every time you hear my voice in your bedroom
Hit the pause, and, hit the pause
And every time life throws a rock at your window
Hit the pause, and, hit the pause
Cause we can't rewind
But maybe just pause for awhile

Maybe we're broken
Maybe we started that way
And maybe everything in life is just how long you stay
I would've stayed here
I would've made it last
But instead of holding our tongues, we held on to the past
I wish that we could rewind

So every time you hear this song on the radio
Hit the pause, and, hit the pause
And every time you hear my voice in your bedroom
Hit the pause, and, hit the pause
And every time life throws a rock at your window
Hit the pause, and, hit the pause
Cause we can't rewind
But maybe just pause for awhile

Like a puzzle that doesn't fit
Like a program that needs to quit
Like an old rock that needs a miner's hand to pull the diamond out of it
Like a bullet without a gun
Like a racehorse that needs to run
Like a game show, we're out of time
And I wish that we could rewind

So every time you hear this song on the radio
Hit the pause, and, hit the pause
And every time you hear my voice in your bedroom
Hit the pause, and, hit the pause
And every time life throws a rock at your window
Hit the pause, and, hit the pause
Cause we can't rewind
But maybe just pause for awhile

Like a bullet without a gun
(Hit the pause, and, hit the pause)
Like a racehorse that needs to run
(Hit the pause, and, hit the pause)
