No Rewind (Like a Cassette Tape)

In an old shoebox under my bed
Lies a treasure from the past
Cassette tapes of songs we shared
Each one a memory that will last
Rewind the laughter, fast-forward the tears
Every note takes me back through the years

Life has no rewind, like a cassette tape
You can't replay the moments that escape
Every sunset and every dawn
Just like those songs, once played, they're gone

We'd cruise the coast in my old Jeep
Stereo blaring, hearts so free
Mix tapes made with love and care
Our soundtrack to a summer affair
Now those days are echoes in my mind
Faded moments that I can't rewind

Life has no rewind, like a cassette tape
You can't replay the moments that escape
Every sunset and every dawn
Just like those songs, once played, they're gone

We'd cruise the coast in my old Jeep
Stereo blaring, hearts so free
Mix tapes made with love and care
Our soundtrack to a summer affair
Now those days are echoes in my mind
Faded moments that I can't rewind

Life has no rewind, like a cassette tape
You can't replay the moments that escape
Every sunset and every dawn
Just like those songs, once played, they're gone

Flip the tape, hear the other side
Different songs, a different vibe
But no matter what, there's no going back
Life's a one-way track

Now I sit by the turquoise sea
Cassette tapes in hand, just you and me
Memories play in the ocean breeze
Time slips away like waves on the keys
I'll keep these tapes, a treasure so dear
Even if life moves on from here

Life has no rewind, like a cassette tape
You can't replay the moments that escape
Every sunset and every dawn
Just like those songs, once played, they're gone

So here's to the memories we've made
The songs of our lives that never fade
Though life has no rewind, like a cassette tape
I'll cherish each moment, for it's never too late
Never too late... to play the tape
