Rewind Time


For this month I have decided to blog only about songs written by muah, since it is the month of my birthday. This song called "Rewind Time" was written about 3 years ago:

Rewind Time

What are the odds?
That I would be stuck
Here with you again
Where and when
I never believed
It would end like this
What did I do wrong?
For how long

Chorus:
But I
Know that it’s impossible
Totally unstoppable
And it’s too late
What would I do?
What would I say?
What would I change?
What would I add?
Would I subtract?
Would it still be the same?
I wish that I had one more try
I’d get it right
I know I would
If I could rewind time

I would go back
To where we last stood
At the edge of the water
What’s after?
So many tears
Have rolled down my cheeks
Even I am blaming me
It’s incomplete

Chorus

Bridge:
So many nights
Been losing sleep
My heart still bleeds
For you and me
Let’s build a time machine
Let’s go back
Get back on track

Chorus

Rewind (x4)
The time (x4)
Rewind (x4)
The time
If I could rewind time

Baby
If I could rewind time }(x2)

Baby (x2)
You know I would
Only if I could

The song is about a guy and a girl (No I am NOT the girl, I promise. I usually write songs about a scenario I created in my mind about abstract beings I have never met. SERIOUSLY!) who have gotten into an argument. The girl wishes that she could go back in time to fix it, but she doesn't know what she would do (hence the contemplation over adding something, subtracting something and etc.). She's really torn over the fact that they've argued. In the beginning of the song she is actually imagining a meeting with him after the argument. During this unexpected meeting, she asks him for how long she's been messing things up--how long has she been making him angry. She asks this so that she could decide how far back she'll need to travel in time to fix herself before things go downhill in their relationship, but in the song, she never gets an answer. She makes it clear that going back in time is impossible, and therefore their breaking up is unstoppable, but if she could, she'd rewind time.
