Time Machine

If you could change the things you've done

Would you jump and take the chance?

Or would you leave your life alone

And continue with the dance

If you could make some things better

But know that other things would change

Would you keep your life the way it is

Or would you choose to rearrange?

I wish I had a time machine

For I know what I would do

I would travel back into the past

To spend more time with you

I wouldn't change what happened

I would just relive the past

Because I love when we're together

And it's moments you can't grasp

Would you change the job you're doing

Would you make yourself real rich

Remember though if things you change

Time's fabric drops a stitch

The things you do when you go back

Will change the things now here

So if you do things different

Your life might disappear

You can go make sick folks healthy

But that will change the scope of time

If I changed the things that happened

you may not end up being mine

I wish I had a time machine

For I know what I would do

I would travel back into the past

To spend more time with you

I wouldn't change what happened

I would just relive the past

Because I love when we're together

And it's moments you can't grasp

There are reasons that things happen

And there are reasons some do not

Would you change the life you're living

For one that you are not?

I know that I'd revisit

The past for just a while

And I'd leave things just the same

I'd go back to see your smile

I wish I had a time machine

For I know what I would do

I would travel back into the past

To spend more time with you

I wouldn't change what happened

I would just relive the past

Because I love when we're together

And it's moments you can't grasp

I'd leave time just the way it was

I'd do everything the same

That way, nothing would be different

And I wouldn't be to blame.

I wish I had a time machine

For I know what I would do

I would travel back into the past

To spend more time with you

I wouldn't change what happened

I would just relive the past

Because I love when we're together

And it's moments you can't grasp
