Pacific Rewind

[Verse 1] Highway curls like a memory line, Tires hum soft to a half-finished rhyme. Golden hour hits the rearview slow, Paints my past in a coral glow. Old mixtape plays, track twenty-three — Still skips where she sang off-key. Didn’t know what I was chasin’ then, Now I drive just to meet it again. [Chorus] Pacific rewind, play it back slow, Not to stay there, just to know. The tide don’t beg, it just returns, With softer waves and lessons learned. I don’t live there, but I don’t forget — Every mile I pass ain’t a mile of regret. [Verse 2] Saw a boardwalk sign all cracked and bent, Just like the one where that summer went. We carved our names in the frame out back, Yours still shows through the weathered black. I don’t pull over, don’t need to stop, Just let it play while the moment drops. The ocean talks like it always knew — Some things come back just passing through. [Chorus] Pacific rewind, play it back slow, Not to stay there, just to know. The tide don’t beg, it just returns, With softer waves and lessons learned. I don’t live there, but I don’t forget — Every mile I pass ain’t a mile of regret. [Verse 3] Rearview full of a long-gone look, Same shoreline, but a different book. I used to ache when that chord came on, Now I hum it like the pain is gone. Still feel the pull when the road bends west, But it don’t shake the calm in my chest. [Bridge] Not every loop means you’re stuck inside, Sometimes you circle just to realign. I don’t rewind to chase what slipped — I rewind to remember I lived. [Final Chorus] Pacific rewind, play it back slow, Not to stay there, just to know. The tide don’t beg, it just returns, With softer waves and lessons learned. I don’t live there, but I don’t forget — Every mile I pass ain’t a mile of regret. [Outro] Rollin’ slow where the coastline bends, No destination, just where it ends. If I drive long enough, I find — The road behind was always mine.
