I Can’t Go Back (Rewind Tonight) [Workshop]

[NARRATION]
Lights go up on a subway car

[VANESSA]
On a Subway at 3 in the morning
And she’s the only soul awake
My reflection’s alone in the window
And I don’t recognize her face
She wipes mascara from her eyes
The train is tumbling through the night
Going home in the light of the station
She is gone

She is a phantom in the glass
Watching another subway pass
And beyond the window’s reflection
There’s a train in the other direction

Woah-Oh-Oh
Rewind Tonight
Take me in that other car and take me towards the light
If I could ride another track
Go back and time and take tonight back
But I can’t forget
And I feel like I’m sick to my stomach with regret

[LINCOLN]
On a corner at 3 in the morning
When half the world is fast asleep
I’ve been biding my time
I’ve been writing a lonely song I couldn’t keep

I shut my mouth and try to hide
A burning melody inside
Walking home in the wake of the streetlights I’m a ghost

All of my feelings have to wait
All of my life a masquerade
And tonight I am lost
I am lost

Woah-Oh-Oh
Rewind Tonight
Let me get another chance to try to say things right
If I could try another track go back in time and take tonight back
But I can’t forget, and I can’t bring myself to go stumbling home just yet

[VANESSA] [LINCOLN] Look at that stupid girl in the window Look at this foolish boy in the shadows Will he miss you tonight? Woah-oh Oh what did you do tonight? -oh What did I do tonight? I’m alone tonight I ride the train to leave the pain Woah-oh-oh but all my memory’s insane rewind tonight Woah-oh-oh I lost control and someone stole a rewind tonight chance for me to bare my soul The night is over when you’re sober Woah-oh-oh and I hope that someone told her rewind tonight Woah-oh-oh I can’t forget this whole regret and I rewind tonight can’t tell him, no not yet
[VANESSA AND LINCOLN]
Woah-oh-oh rewind tonight
Woah-oh-oh rewind tonight
