 Struggling with Rewind? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

Picking up the pieces of the wreck you went and left
And I'm dealing with dilemmas in my now so stressful life.
I'm drinking stronger spirits, made my home here on the floor,
And I'm losing all ambition and goals
I'm going all out, I'm thinking you're just as bad.

[Chorus]
I'm not sleeping at night, but I'm going from bar to bar.
Why can't I just rewind, why can't we just rewind, why can't we just rewind?

Remember at 16 the crazy drunken night we had,
When I kissed you in the hallway, then I took you straight to bed.
Two years on I'm still the same boy, and

[Chorus: x2]

You might blame it on me, but you insisted that we fall.
Wiped your hands of me and said you needed more, more, more!

[Chorus: x2]

Why can't we just rewind?
