Rewind the Exit Lyrics

Just bring back that moment and I know I'll be fine
You take down the heavens with starlight
How long can the angels hold your body cold?
You're born with the power and a fire soul
Rewinding the exit wound
I'm holding on to you

'Cause I need words like anyone
And I need love like everyone
With those words I'm strong enough
And I need love like everyone

Hold on to your lifeline and be yourself
Life is too short to be someone else
I'm finally comfortable with who I am
But that doesn't mean that I'm perfect
Rewinding the exit wound
I'm holding on to you

'Cause I need words like anyone
And I need love like everyone
With those words I'm strong enough
And I need love like everyone

Who took your heart?
And who pulled the light out of you?
You gave me your love
I painted my life with the blues

Rewinding the exit wound
I'm holding on to you

'Cause I need words like anyone
And I need love like everyone
With those words I'm strong enough
And I need love like everyone

And I need love like everyone
With those words I'm strong enough
And I need love like everyone

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.

Ultimately, this song is about life and wishing to take back the past. It's about longing to experience or change the pivotal moments of our past, the deep connections and loves. Even though our fires may burn with bright passion, we are all mortals with invisible clocks. Like the song says, life is too short to be someone else, you can be comfortable with the flawed being who you are, but that doesn't mean that you don't want to rewind the exit wound life inflicted on you, and hold onto something you hold dear. We may be happy with who we are, but that doesn't mean we can't wish to retake the past and make dreams reality.
