Rewind (Acoustic)

I used to leave the light on in the middle of the night
Today I keep them all off so the bills won't be as high
Tomorrow I'll be waiting under my front porch light
For when they come running home, when the sun no longer shines

I used to write love notes for the boy right next to me
Today I signed my first and last on a twelve month lease
Tomorrow I'll be reading bedtime stories
Where did all this time go, won't someone please tell me

Who put us in fast forward
I'd like to take control of the remote
Don't you know
We're only getting older
Let's put it in slow motion
Just tonight
Let's take it back and rewind

Handlebars and training wheels
Turned into jeeps and fords
Scraping knees on the sidewalks to bending fenders in the roads
We were three kids in a minivan watching the world fly by
Now all old and grown at different places in our lives

Who put us in fast forward
I'd like to take control of the remote
Don't you know
We're only getting older
Let's put it in slow motion
Just tonight
Let's take it back and rewind

Living in the moment is like dancing all alone
One step after the other, well that's just how it goes
You trip, you fall, you get back up you learn as you go
Not looking back or rushing on keeping a constant flow

Who put us in fast forward
I'd like to take control of the remote
Don't you know
We're only getting older
Let's put it in slow motion
Just tonight
Let's take it back and rewind
