What if I could go back and change the past,
Cause memories of yesterday won't last,
And I'll give her all the attention,
And all the affection she needs to see,
Through the shadow of me that stands,
At her back.
Its 1994 and i'm eight years old,
Like a good kid I do what i'm told,
Wrap up warm in the winter cold.
Climb the fence, go on its a dare.
But I see her standing there,
In the backyard her soul laid bare,
And her eyes deep like cotton caskets,
Sprinkles of icing inside a summer basket.
But now I don't know what to do,
Cause I wake up 2002,
Without a trace or hint or a clue,
In sheets of white, the window open;
Bright like the winter sun,
The past I have undone.
I tried to go back and make it perfect,
As if my will alone could heal the hurt.
I was wrong,
I'm sorry,
But I know what I must do.
I know! I know!
I'll go back to the start;
I'll never meet you,
Or treat you bad.
I'll never kiss you,
Or hold you to
A promise we made on the day I left you,
"I'll Come Back For You."
Quickly there coming I have to choose,
To go back to the start and change your fate,
You'll never know and so never lose.
I'll never whisper words in your ear,
Or never share with you my deepest fear;
Of losing you. |
