Last night i made this time machine
and i went back when everything was right
but i couldn't stay for long
the alarm woke me up
and you were gone
and i made my way down these steps like I've always done
the light flickers off cause i left it on
but i don't see anything wrong with
telling you how i felt
about these last few years without you
You can't always get what you want
from people that never really knew from the start
I've had this knot tied inside
and i want it out
but i know the truth
wont get past my mouth this time
close your eyes cause you're coming with me
we're going back but it wont be easy
forget everything (forget everything!)
right now, everybody's gonna ask why i left
and every second step to every chance that ever passed me by.
