Fast Forward Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Just got the mirror on the way out
Don't recognize myself anymore now
Been running in circles and I can't get out
The less I know the better it rings loud

[Chorus]
Just when you wanna fast forward
You know it's gonna hurt some more
When you feel the fire is gone
I'll pour some gasoline on
I, I, I'll pour some gasoline on
I, I, I'll pour some gasoline on
And I might be down but I'm not fucking out
'Cause I need more hours to turn this one around

[Verse 2]
I scratched the surface yesterday, I
I know how this one will play out
Let me start you before you start
You played yours, I played my part
Both cut from the same cloth

[Bridge]
I know you miss the old days, the old days are gone
Everything you've got isn't what you want
I know you miss the old days, the old days are gone
Everything you've got isn't what you want

[Chorus]
When you wanna fast forward
You know it's gonna hurt some more
When you feel the fire is gone
I'll pour some gasoline on
I, I, I'll pour some gasoline on
I, I, I'll pour some gasoline on
And I might be down but I'm not fucking out
'Cause I need more hours to turn this one around
I, I, I, I

Always Attract

The Rumour

You've Made Your Bed (So Sleep In It)

Save It for the Bedroom

Jealous Minds Think Alike

[Verse 1]
Just got the mirror on the way out
Don't recognize myself anymore now
Been running in circles and I can't get out
The less I know the better it rings loud

[Verse 2]
I scratched the surface yesterday, I
I know how this one will play out
Let me start you before you start
You played yours, I played my part
Both cut from the same cloth

[Bridge]
I know you miss the old days, the old days are gone
Everything you've got isn't what you want
I know you miss the old days, the old days are gone
Everything you've got isn't what you want

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

In my opinion this song felt like it was referring to a long relationship that started to lose the "spark" in it, when you know you need to cut it off and do a "fast forward" but you can't let go of it. "Don't recognize myself anymore now" and "running in circles " is talking about how he slowly started to stop being himself, this relationship changed him and he's just running in circles. "You know it's gonna hurt some more" to fast forward the relationship and cut it off. So instead even if he's down he's refusing to be out and keep on trying to go back to what ot was by "pouring gasoline" to the fire that's always gone. You played your part I played mine means how they did everything they could and that's over. "I know you miss the old days the old days are gone everything you got isn't what you want" is the spark that was in the beginning and how they want to bring the old days back, but they're simple gone and everything they have now is not what they want. That's just my perspective of the song so some people might not agree but I still wanted to take my time to share it with you for the ones that'll think as I do and might like this analysis of mine Thank you for reading:)

@Xxxxkarinax "it" instead of "ot" and "you've got" I know there's probably some more typos and mistakes but that's hard to write such a long opinion with my phone so spare me:,)
