about

A poptastic look at regret and the steady decline of an aging body.

lyrics

Well I wish I could rewind,
Every memory erase,
Hit reset on my whole mind,
Wish I could take it, take it back a page,

So I can forget
That we ever met.

But I never have and I never will,
I just never felt this way and I never felt so ill,
Won't you take me back
Before I go over the hill?

I'm a little sicker than before,
You can see it in my face,
Don't fit the clothes that I once wore,
My skin is rougher and lined with age.

But if I were a kid
I'd still do what I did.

And I never have and I never will,
And I never felt this way and I never felt so ill,
Won't you take me back
Before I go over the hill?

Won't you take me back?
Won't you take me back?
Won't you take me back?
Won't you take me back?

And if I see you on the street,
Walking many years from now,
And for a second our eyes meet;
Not sure I'd even recognise you now.

But for that second I'll look,
And I'll go right back to the first page of that book.

And I never have, you know I never will,
And I never felt this way and I never felt so ill,
Wont you take me back
Before I go over the hill?

The foursome specialise in quirky, clever lyrics set to catchy melodic hooks and spiffy electro-folk-pop arrangements. ... more
