back in time

(album: a lighter shade of blue - 2022)

If I had a time machine
That went right to you and me for a minute
I wouldn't get in it
Okay, maybe I would climb inside
Press some buttons and turn the dial to that summer
Where my heart felt younger

I'm not saying things were better then
But I wish you could see smile at me again

'Cause I was in love, I could not explain it
We spoke in tongues, written in our own language
I was yours and you were mine
I made you mad, you drove me crazy
So simple then, but so complicated
I think of you and I don't know why
'Cause I can't go back in time

If I had the chance again
To stop the ending when it came
I wouldn't do it
Yeah, we were done and we knew it, hmm

See, I remember how it felt
All the heaven, all the hell that we went through
Doesn't mean I was meant for you

'Cause I was in love, I could not explain it
We spoke in tongues, written in our own language
I was yours and you were mine
I made you mad, you drove me crazy
So simple then, but so complicated
I think of you and I don't know why
'Cause I can't go back in time

You're happy now, I've settled down
Guess life is full of things we could live without
But that doesn't change the truth
Part of me was made by you

'Cause I was in love, I could not explain it
We spoke in tongues, written in our own language
I was yours and you were mine
I made you mad, you drove me crazy
So simple then, but so complicated
I think of you and I don't know why
'Cause I can't go back in time

If I had a time machine
That went right to you and me for a minute
I wouldn't get in it
