Lay your mind on the pillowcase 
I’m on the line I paint a picture that you can’t erase 
All of the things that you know that I want to do to you 

I take it to the back 
I want to push it underneath 
I try to fall between the cracks 
I want to find some inner peace 
I tell you that I’m sorry for this 
I’m getting by 
Well I did what I did 
I couldn’t take it any longer 
The way you bring me down 
Such a bitter surrender 
All this love we’ve rediscovered 
Has got me feeling all alright 

If I tried everything in the book to make you forget 
If I said all those mistakes that I made were in the past 
If I could take it back I would do this all again 
If I could I would rewind 

Sit back and relax 
Keep track of the facts 
As I gaze in the maze 
Of your eyes they’ve been laced 
With some kind of drug 
That keeps me from looking away 
I did what I did 
I swear I didn’t mean it anything that I said 
If I could have you back for one day 
All the things that I would do and say 

If I tried everything in the book to make you forget 
If I said all those mistakes that I made were in the past 
If I could take it back I would do this all again 
If I could I would 

I’d tell you all the things that I think you’d want to hear 
Before you disappear 

I tried everything in the book to make you forget 
I took those mistakes I made and put them in the past 
If I could take it back, I would do this all again 
If I could I would rewind
