Sometimes
I just wanna rewind
Sometimes (sometimes, sometimes)
I just wanna rewind
I'd go back in time to when I wasn't insecure
To when I didn't overanalyse my face shape
Nowadays, I only eat at the good restaurants
But honestly, I'm always thinkin' 'bout my weight
I used to never feel embarrassed
Feel embarrassed when I call up the paparazzi
Everyone else does it constantly
I hate these doubts that keep runnin' through my mind
Sometimes I really think it would be cool to rewind
Sometimes
I just wanna rewind
Sometimes (sometimes, sometimes)
I just wanna rewind
Used to burn CDs full of songs I didn't know
Used to sit in my bedroom, puttin' polish on my toes
Recently, I've been thinkin' 'bout a way simpler time
Sometimes I really think it would be cool to rewind
I used to never think about Billboard
But now I've started thinkin' again
Wonderin' 'bout whether I think I deserve commercial success
It's runnin' through my mind
Sometimes I really think it would be cool to rewind
Sometimes
I just wanna rewind
Sometimes (sometimes, sometimes)
I just wanna rewind
Sometimes
'Times
Mm, mm
Sometimes
I just wanna rewind
Wanna turn back time to a different time, ooh
Sometimes
I just wanna rewind
I just wanna rewind
I just wanna rewind
Press rewind, yeah
Yeah, press rewind, yeah
Bring the beat back
Press rewind, yeah
Yeah, press rewind
