[Verse 1]
He learned the hourglass trick
Watched the grains run back
One mistake, then another
He kept the ledger track
He hit rewind on his hands
Then on her last goodbye
Tried to fix one broken day
But the whole sky started lying
[Pre-Chorus]
Every mark he erased
Made a new scar show
Every door he walked through
Opened somewhere cold
He said, "One more chance"
Then the room bent strange
Now the world knows his name
But it ain't the same
[Chorus]
Can't rewind this now
Can't rewind this now
He broke the line
And lost his way
Can't rewind this now
Can't rewind this now
The past stayed gone
The future changed
[Verse 2]
The bus stop sign read different
His old street had no rain
Her laugh was somebody else's
In a town with a different name
He found his younger shadow
Standing where he was
Tried to warn that kid to stop
But the warning turned to dust
[Pre-Chorus]
Every clock in the house
Started ticking wrong
The more he chased the fix
The more it all went wrong
He said, "Just this last one"
But the floor gave way
Now the world knows his name
But it can't say the same
[Chorus]
Can't rewind this now
Can't rewind this now
He broke the line
And lost his way
Can't rewind this now
Can't rewind this now
The past stayed gone
The future changed
[Bridge]
Now he walks through a town
Built from what he broke
Faces he should know
Look through him like smoke
If he could trade one hour
For the life he lost
He'd keep the wound, keep the truth
And never count the cost
[Final Chorus]
Can't rewind this now
Can't rewind this now
He broke the line
And lost his way
Can't rewind this now
Can't rewind this now
The past stayed gone
The future changed
Can't rewind this now
Can't rewind this now
The future changed
The future changed
