[Chorus]

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


[Verse 1]

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


[Chorus]

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


[Verse 2]

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 hauled up in a taxi, she was asleep in the backseat

I was just drinkin' 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 tryin'!"

She sniffled, "Fuck you!" while cryin'

Still have no fuckin' 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 thousand 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


[Outro]

Maybe I could say hi, maybe I'd feel relieved

Maybe that would give me closure, maybe that's too naïve (If I could turn back time)

Or maybe I could walk by, wear my heart on my sleeve (Maybe I could make you mine)

And maybe we would lock eyes, and it'd be hard to believe (How could I have been so blind?)

But maybe we would both laugh, and I could ask how she was (Maybe I could make you mine)

And wonder if she thinks about the times we used to be us (If I could hit rewind)

And maybe I could ask why, or maybe I would say "Please?" (Maybe I could make you mine)

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 (Maybe I could make you mine)

Make corners of this room dissolve with every breath that I breathe

Until it's just me and her
