About This Track

'Rewrite' by Sia is a 2004 pop track from 'Colour the Small One'. The lyrics stage a blunt, self-protective address to someone who thinks they can possess or keep the speaker, likening herself to something small and easily lost, then insisting she can be swapped out. The mood is resolute and slightly fatalistic, with lines like “You can't hold me” framing the refusal to be contained.

"Rewrite" is a track by Sia, from the album Colour the Small One, released 12th January 2004. The track is 4:46 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 3 articles about Sia.

Lyrics

Rewrite

You don't know me
You can't hold me
I'll slip through your hands
I am one single grain of sand

You are free to love
Happily received
You are free to love
If that is all you need

I'm an empty space
I can be replaced
So when you're finished with this dream
Delete begin to rewrite me

You are free to love
Happily received
You are free to love
If that is all you need

You are free to love
Happily received
You are free to love
If that is all you need

You are free to love
Happily received
You are free to love
Delete and rewrite me
