Verse 1

Rewind to a summer, back in ‘95,

Mixtape poppin’, keepin’ dreams alive.

Flannel tied up, Doc Martens worn,

Skatin’ through the chaos like we owned the storm.

Flippin’ through CDs at the record store,

Saved up all week, just to buy one more.

No likes, no follows, just a payphone call,

Left a message, yeah, but you forgot ‘em all.

Pre-Chorus

But who needs sense when you got soul?

Skipping class just to rock & roll.

Sarcasm’s our second tongue,

Danced through the dark ‘til the dawn begun.

Chorus

Gimme rewind & shine, let’s spin it back,

Every scratch on that record tells us where we’re at.

If life’s a rerun, I’ll play it loud,

Moonwalk through the memories—make my younger self proud!

Verse 2

Friday night cruising, radio’s loud,

Top 40 trash? Nah, we changed that dial.

Made our own soundtrack, mixed and dubbed,

Falling in love over bass and buzz.

Took polaroids like they’d never fade,

Stuck ‘em to my wall with that bubblegum tape.

No filter, no edits, just neon dreams,

We were rebels in ripped-up denim seams.

Pre-Chorus

But who needs plans when you got vibes?

Gas tank’s empty, but we’ll still drive.

Pocket change got us half a meal,

But we shared every bite—made it all feel real.

Chorus

Gimme rewind & shine, let’s spin it back,

Every scratch on that record tells us where we’re at.

If life’s a rerun, I’ll play it loud,

Moonwalk through the memories—make my younger self proud!

Bridge (Breakdown, dreamy synths & slow funk bass)

Oh, the future came, and yeah, it’s strange,

But we’re still here—just rearranged.

Dial-up’s dead, and malls are ghosts,

But my heart still beats to the songs I know.

Outro

So slap some stickers on that busted past,

We made it through—who’d have thought we’d last?

Hit play, hit pause, let’s dance tonight,

We’re the mixtape kids who refused to rewind.
