If only time stood still Then nothing would happen in this world you may think that sounds kind of appealing No babies born, no humans killed
If Billy had forgotten his lunch Then ran back to pick it up If he'd have left the house just a minute later And into the traffic got stuck Then he wouldn't have been driving his for At 15:47 down Chahito Boulevard Where on that saturday morning Amy Rodriguez she crossed the road
If only time stood still Then nothing would happen in this world you may think that sounds kind of appealing No babies born, no humans killed
If Amy hadn't snoozed that morning alarm at 5:45am Then 2 minutes later she rose up, slipped into her office dress And if the rain she fell, then the car would've been a better way To get her to the working station, that Saturday Billy's phone rang out, his head bowed down A big old bang on the hood of his car, Amy lay silent, people gather around Fifteen seconds later she'd have crossed path to path If the phone didn't ring oh ain't irony a funny thing, we'd still be hearing Any's laugh
Now all the guilt in the world can't change what's happened you live with what you've got A second here or there can make a lifetime of difference, something i've never really thought
Now Billy's old and can sit on his porch with grandchildren dancing at his feet But he lives with the thoughts that if he slept 2 minutes longer Amy Rodriguez would still be walking these streets
