I've been wishing on the nights I can't sleep, sleep
For a chance to go back, dive in too deep, deep
Haunted by the things I couldn't or shouldn't say, say
Echoes of a past that won't fade away, away

I walk through memories I try to erase
But they come back stronger when I see their faces
I'd give anything just to change that days
Rewrite the lines I pushed away

And I keep dreaming, dreaming slow
That time would open doors I closed
But every second slips from me
Like sand I'm trying not to free

Oh how I wish to turn back time
Fix the pieces that weren't mine
I know I can't, it's out of hand
But God, they'll never understand
How much I beg to change the past
Heal the cracks that still hold fast
I know I can't, but I still try
In my mind's worn-out rewind

There were words I swallowed, tears I hid
Truths I buried deep like a scared kid
Moments that I broke without meaning to
Things I can't fix no matter what I do

And I keep dreaming, dreaming slow
That time would open doors I closed
But every second slips from me
Like sand I'm trying not to free

Oh how I wish to turn back time
Fix the pieces that weren't mine
I know I can't, it's out of hand
But God, they'll never understand
How much I beg to change the past
Heal the cracks that still hold fast
I know I can't, but I still try
In my mind's worn-out rewind

If I had a time machine, I swear I'd go back to every version of me- you used to know
I'd hold it tighter, speak louder, choose that more
Lock every moment like a closed door
But I'm stuck here, living with the cost of every second, every chance I lost

(Every chance I've) lost
Ah

I've been wishing on the nights I can't sleep
For a time machine I'll never keep
And even though I can't go back
I still walk those old tracks
