Stop, Pause, Rewind


Sometimes, I think I wish we’d never become friends STOP Your thoughts can deceive you. That little undying conscious in your head Wants someone, wants someone. PLAY I look back on our laughs REWIND On our fun times REWIND On the moments when I really felt something, Like maybe the world wasn’t a bad place, Maybe people were real and to be cherished, And maybe, just maybe Everything would eventually be okay. PAUSE But then you destroyed us. PLAY But then you ripped away the life rope I’d been holding on to, and I cascaded Down, falling towards something I couldn’t make out STOP Well if we ever get through this, You better know I’m not the one who said goodbye REWIND I cascaded down, falling towards something I couldn’t make out, and all I wanted Was for someone to catch me. PAUSE I’m moving on without you now PLAY If we were to ever meet again STOP Would it be different? REWIND If we were to ever meet again Then I think I’d say hello Maybe we could even introduce ourselves And be on our way PAUSE But I’d want you to stay, Much more than you know. PLAY I’ll go home tonight. I won’t sleep right. Nothing will ever be the same Because you walked away, And I can’t say goodbye.
