Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Intro]
What is it that you would say?
If you were given just one day?
One day to go back and live again
What is it that you say, my friend?
Do you go back and relive the joy?
Or do you unmake a mistake
That left you with some pain?
[Chorus]
Oh, wouldn’t it be nice?
If we could at least try
To go back and undo
Everything wrong
That we have said and done
Just imagine...
[Verse]
Well I guess the one day I’d redo
Is the one where I did choose
To let myself entertain the thought
I prayed to God
Asked for his help
And that was when I fell
If I could
Then I would
Yell at younger me to stop
Tell him to let it go and drop
[Chorus]
Oh the past
It never lasts
The good times fade
And the bad ones make
The future so much harder
And the good times so much farther
[Verse]
The past holds my friends
They were there but then
Time took that away
Imagine reliving just one of those days
And being friends with them again
[Verse]
The past holds my friends
They were there but then
Time took that away
Imagine reliving just one of those days
And being friends with them again
[Chorus]
I hate you time
Why can’t you I fight?
Fight to keep you from moving on
You take all the good times and make them gone
Take the bad and amplify
You ruin everything, time
[Verse]
They say that time heals
But by now you know that isn’t real
What if you could go back?
Fix it through prevention
Of the reason your joy is in detention
By just redoing the whole thing
What would you say?
What do you pick? What day?
[Chorus]
There’s nothing we can do
Time keeps me and you
From keeping the good around
It tracks us like a hound
Takes completely away
All of the good days
[Verse]
If I can’t unmake the mistake
I made when the thought was entertained
Maybe I can make double sure
Younger me remembers
Remembers what he saw
He wasn’t wrong
In his first assumption
And there’s a lot of pain
He can save
If he would just never forget
[Chorus]
I wish we could go back
If only we could go back
Go straight back to all the good times
Undo all the bad rhymes
See all of my friends, again
I miss, how it used to be
[Verse]
What if we could go back?
What would you do to go back?
I really want to go back
If only we could go back
Please, let me go back
[Outro]
But I can never go back
I can never go back
Is this how it’s supposed to be?
I prefer how it used to be
Is this how it has to be?
I wish that I could go back
But I can never go back
I can never go back
