So what do you say?
Can we start over?
One, two, three, four!

Can we start from the very beginning
Before we learned to slam the door?

When staying up meant laughing till morning
Not keeping track of who hurt more
Can we rewind to the nights we were winning?
Your feet on the dash of my car
We missed our turn, but we kept on singing
How did we end up this far?

What do you say? Let's start over
Try our luck with a four-leaf clover
Before you go, before we're through
There's something I still wanna ask you!

Can we turn back time?
Can we pause and rewind?
Back when your hand was always in mine
Are we destined to be alone
Or can we find our way back home?

Let's stop the tape before goodbye
Give us another goddamn try!
What do you say? Put your hand in mine
Can we pause, pause and rewind?

Let's skip the chorus, go straight to the start
Before we took each other apart

Back when your name lighting up my phone
Meant you were coming over, I wasn't alone
Now I type three words, then erase the screen
You're probably doing the same damn thing
I'd rather have my arms around you
Than another night pretending I don't want to

What do you say?

Let's start over

You take a step, I'll move closer
We can't unsay what we put us through
But I can listen this time to you

Can we turn back time?
Can we pause and rewind?
Back when your hand was always in mine
Are we destined to be alone
Or can we find our way back home?

Let's stop the tape before goodbye
Give us another goddamn try!

What do you say? Put your hand in mine
Can we pause, pause and rewind?

Pause at the part where you pulled me closer
Loop that kiss over and over
I know we can't stay stuck in that scene
Or act like the fights happened on a screen

I DON'T WANNA WIN IF IT MEANS YOU LEAVE!
I WANNA HEAR WHAT YOU NEED FROM ME!
We can't go back, but we can choose
What happens next is up to me and you!

Can we turn back time?
Can we pause and rewind?
I miss your laugh breaking into mine

We don't have to be alone
But we've gotta change to make this home

Let's stop the tape before goodbye
Give us another goddamn try!
What do you say? Put your hand in mine
We've got more than a past to leave behind!

Pause and rewind!
What do you say?
One more time!
Don't hit replay!
Let's start over, but do it right
Write a better ending tonight!
