Sometimes you just want to hit rewind, not only on the day but on your whole life. Start it again armed with the knowledge that making certain moves will change your future.

City streets sing their daily tune The same ones I hear every afternoon. Pacing each familiar step that I walk I listen to the conversations I hear people talk Exchanging pleasantries to pass the day A sparkless chat before they're back on their way.
