Lyrics

If I could turn back time
 Maybe I could make you mine
 How could I have been so blind?
 Maybe I could make you mine
 If I could turn back time
 Maybe I could say hi
 Maybe I'd feel relieved
 Maybe that would give me closure
 Maybe that's too naïve
 Or maybe I could walk by
 Wear my heart on my sleeve
 And maybe we would lock eyes
 And it'd be hard to believe
 But maybe we would both laugh
 And I could ask how she was
 And wonder if she thinks about
 The times we used to be us
 And maybe I could ask why
 Or maybe I would say please
 But maybe she's with a guy
 And maybe I should just leave
 Or maybe I could stop time
 'Cause the world to just freeze
 Make corners of this room dissolve
 With every breath that I breathe
 Until it's just me and her
 And we would fall from our feet
 And flitter down into the pitch black
 With no floor underneath
 And we could fall through December
 And maybe shatter through June
 And we could crash land in April
 And wake up back in our room
 And she'd be there in my arms
 Right before she was gone
 And while I lay there, I'd retrace to myself
 Where I went wrong
 If I could turn back time
 Maybe I could make you mine
 How could I have been so blind?
 Maybe I could make you mine
 If I could hit rewind
 Maybe I could make you mine
 Maybe things would turn out fine
 Maybe I could make you mine
 Maybe she's just as bored
 What if she's as depressed?
 Maybe I should drink more
 Maybe I should think less
 How did things end so badly?
 How did things even end?
 I don't remember exactly, don't ask me
 On our way back from Atlanta
 We were holed up in a taxi
 She was asleep in the backseat
 I was just drinking a smoothie
 Jamba Juice, mango and flax seed
 She woke up groggy and tapped me
 Headphones in, bumping to Max B
 Looked at her, paused it on track three
 She sighed and looked at me angry
 I asked her, "What?"
 And she snapped back, "Nothing, it's fine"
 I said, "No, what's on your mind?"
 She snapped back, "Nothing, it's fine!"
 I said, "Well fuck it! I'm trying!"
 She sniffled, "Fuck you!" while crying
 Still have no fucking idea
 The what, or the who, or the why
 But we just stopped talking
 And that was the end
 No text or call or coffee
 No "Let's just be friends"
 We sat there silently through
 North Carolina and West Virginia
 And hours and hours passed
 And the anxious quiet continued
 'Til I fell asleep
 And woke up to the driver alone
 He told me he drove past her neighborhood
 And dropped her off home
 And that was it, and now we're here
 Two dozen feet from each other
 It feels like years since I've seen her
 Two washed-up used to be lovers
 We used to kiss under covers
 And wrestle in blankets
 And nestle each other
 But I don't think I've got the courage to muster
 Maybe I could say hi
 Maybe I'd feel relieved
 Maybe that would give me closure
 Maybe that's too naïve
 Or maybe I could walk by
 Wear my heart on my sleeve
 And maybe we would lock eyes
 And it'd be hard to believe
 But maybe we would both laugh
 And I could ask how she was
 And wonder if she thinks about
 The times we used to be us
 And maybe I could ask why
 Or maybe I would say please
 But maybe she's with a guy
 And maybe I should just leave
 Or maybe I could stop time
 'Cause the world to just freeze
 Make corners of this room dissolve
 With every breath that I breathe
 Until it's just me and her
