I’d choose you all over again Step back in time   To when we were younger,   To when you wanted me more—   But not nearly as much.   I need you now. I'd make the same mistakes   If I knew we'd be back there,   Back then,   To when you courted me with frozen yogurt,   Though you were the sweetest of sweet things,   And I bet you still are. I'd gladly go back   To when I gave up a dream of L.A. and ovations   For the chance to stand with you   Before God and loved ones. I'd stay right back there   To hear you call me silly nicknames,   To Friday night fights over nothing—   Just to make up. I'm not sure of the exact moment   We lost everything   That made others call us special,   Or when the stress of the years   Separated us from what's important. I just know that I'd still pick you.

I’d Choose You All Over Again
I’d choose you all over again Step back in time   To when we were younger,   To when you wanted me more—   But not nearly as much.   I need you now. I'd make the same mistakes   If I knew we'd be back there,   Back then,   To when you courted me with frozen yogurt,   Though you were the sweetest of sweet things,   And I bet you still are. I'd gladly go back   To when I gave up a dream of L.A. and ovations   For the chance to stand with you   Before God and loved ones. I'd stay right back there   To hear you call me silly nicknames,   To Friday night fights over nothing—   Just to make up. I'm not sure of the exact moment   We lost everything   That made others call us special,   Or when the stress of the years   Separated us from what's important. I just know that I'd still pick you.
