You said let's go to tape cause it catches the soul
when the red light turns on count in all let it roll
we'll do it all live and commit to one take
kick your shoes off it's time are you ready to play?
you can stand against the wall or else get in real tight
just give it your all and if this one's not right

Rewind
back to the beginning
rewind
rewind
back to the beginning

So I tore down my defenses and stood in the light
took off my hat, pushed it aside
the songs they hung heavy, exposed at the seams
like your old worn-down sneakers and corduroy jeans
the guitar was too down so I played the upright
but I played it all wrong and the click was too tight

Rewind
back to the beginning
rewind
rewind
back to the beginning
rewind

Tear out the pages
my heart races
take one big deep breath before we reset
you're pushing too hard now
soften the sound
remember the song you set out to do

Rewind
back to the beginning
rewind
rewind
back to the beginning
