lyrics
If I could go back in time and fix what went wrong
I'd go back to the beginning and rewrite this song
Is everything that happens meant to be?
Or can we go back and change our destiny?
Fate is fickle, or so they say
But what if I could go back and change yesterday?
If I could go back in time and fix what went wrong
I'd go back to the beginning and rewrite this song
I have this funny feeling about time
I think it's more of a circle than a line
Seems like no matter how hard I try
The wheel keeps spinning, time passing me by
If I could go back in time and fix what went wrong
I'd go back to the beginning and rewrite this song
H.G. Wells has nothing on me
I'll buy a DeLorean and change what's meant to be
If I could stop time and end this crazy ride
I'd travel back to you at the speed of light
If I could go back in time and fix what went wrong
I'd go back to the beginning and rewrite this song
A wormhole, a phone booth, a fancy sports car
I'd do anything and everything to be where you are
If I only knew what this mess would turn into
I'd go back in time and find somebody new
If I could go back in time and fix what went wrong
I'd go back to the beginning and rewrite this song
