Lyrics
[Intro]
If I had a time machine
I could go back and fix everything
Smack some sense into younger me
Prevent all of the painful things
Open up his eyes to see
The ways he’s messed up older me
[Verse 1]
If I could then I sure would
Go right back to when it began
Younger me, you’re about to make a choice
Fight it! Fight it! Fight it!
You’re hopping on a train of pain
Fight it! Fight it! Fight!
Please, for the sake of older you
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 2]
The decision was made
And now your mind is changed
But it isn’t yet too late
To stop all of this pain
You see it, you noticed
Now never go and forget it
Remember! Remember! Remember!
It is the key you need
Remember! Remember! Remember!
Please, for the sake of older you
[Chorus]
If I had a time machine
I could go back and fix everything
Smack some sense into younger me
Prevent all of the painful things
Open up his eyes to see
The ways he’s breaking older me
[Verse 3]
Younger me, you are a fool
You took it and ignored
I can still fix it if I had the machine
But I’ll have to move quickly
Don’t grab the yarn, leave it be
And when you get the new one
Put it away, it’s only temporary fun
Pack it! Pack it! Pack it!
Forget it’s there at all
Pack it! Pack it! Pack it!
Please, for the sake of older you
[Verse 4]
You kept it going
Time is running
I think my chance is up
But there’s a mistake
I can still unmake
If you would only listen
It didn’t spawn, make it gone
Leave it! Leave it! Leave it!
Don’t try and fix it up
Leave it! Leave it! Leave it!
Please, for the sake of older you
[Chorus]
If I had a time machine
I could go back and fix everything
Smack some sense into younger me
Prevent all of the painful things
Open up his eyes to see
The ways he’s breaking older me
[Outro]
Younger me, you are hopeless
Pain you seem to crave
You want to take me
And you want to break me
I tried to warn you through
One of these days I’ll wisen up
And let it go from me and drop
But until that day does come
I will look back and blame what is gone
Younger me, why did you do this?
Younger me, why did you break me?
