This song, released 4th December 2006, is a song from Paolo’s album ‘These Streets’.
The song’s lyrics talk about the emptiness Paolo feels after his wife/girlfriend left him.
[Verse 1]
Picking up the pieces
Of the wreck you went and left
And I'm dealing with dilemmas
In my now so stressful life
And I'm drinking stronger spirits
I made my home here on the floor
And I'm losing all ambition and goals
[Pre-Chorus]
An' I'm going all out
An' I'm thinking you're just as bad
[Chorus]
Not sleeping at night
But I'm going from bar to bar
Why can't we just rewind?
Why can't we just rewind?
Why can't we just rewind?
[Verse 2]
Oh, remember at 16
Oh, the crazy drunken night we had
When I kissed you in the hallway
And then I took you straight to bed
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, and two years on
An' I'm still that same boy, and I'm
[Chorus]
Not sleeping at night
But I'm going from bar to bar
Why can't we just rewind?
Why can't we just rewind?
Why can't we just rewind?
Oh, and I'm not sleeping at night
But I'm going from bar to bar
Why can't we just rewind?
Why can't we just rewind?
Why can't we just rewind?
[Bridge]
Oh, you might blame it on me but you insisted that we fall
Wiped your hands of me and said you needed more, more, more
[Chorus]
An' I'm not sleeping at night
But I'm going from bar to bar
Why can't we just rewind?
Why can't we just rewind?
Why can't we just rewind?
Oh, and I'm not sleeping at night
But I'm going from bar to bar
Why can't we just rewind?
Why can't we just rewind?
Why can't we just rewind?
[Outro]
Oh, woah
Woah
Woah, woah
Can't we just rewind?
