Rewind Lyrics

Cut a tape of my favorite songs
Said what I can't face to face
I hoped that you would share all my thoughts We are young and unimpressed, with all you'd recognize.

So play it all over
Turn it wide.
Now there is nothing but a
Mix tape left behind
Now it won't rewind

In my car we are superstars
Run your lipstick down your chin
While up ahead we saw such a crash
Right there a song became a soundtrack for this space in time.

So play it all over
Turn it wide.
Now there is nothing but a
Mix tape left behind
Now it won't rewind

Wonder is often lost
Jaded at such a cost
Age undermines you when you close your eyes.
We pass right by you.

So play it all over
Turn it wide.
Now there is nothing but a
Mix tape left behind
Now it won't rewind.

Cover art for Rewind lyrics by Better Than Ezra

I adore this song and I don't get how no one has commented on it yet. I think this is one of Better Than Ezra's best songs. Certain lines of it really strike me. Who hasn't been driving around listening to something thinking they are rockstars. The part about seeing a crash and having the song become the soundtrack is really good because I know that I associate songs with the people, place and activity I was doing while I heard it. I really like the lyrics to this song and I feel it is really underated as far as their songs go.

This is one of my favorite Better Than Ezra tunes. It's a 'Soundtrack of Life' song. That's what music is...a soundtrack to our lives. That's part of why music is so important to me and so many others. Plus, music can often say what we aren't always comfortable saying face-to-face. It even mentions this fact in the song. I remember where I was, and what I was doing, when I hear this song, and that's the point. This song sums up perfectly what music has always done for me and why it means so much.
