lyrics

Remember when we'd watch stupid films
And play them back every time
I took a shot when the air was still
And wished that I could rewind
To take me back to every moment
Every scene we take

I need to speak to the director, this film ain't finished yet
And why is she with somebody else?
I wanna know when it gets better, call me the critic but
I don't think that's how stories end

But now I find myself so confused
I must have missed something out
Maybe she was a villain too
Or what this film was about
So take me back to every moment
Every scene we take
