lyrics

Well, I guess I should be grateful that I met you
Even if it didn’t go my way
But I’ve worked so hard at trying to forget you
Yeah, I’m hurting every single day

I have to sit on my hands so I won’t give in
And write a message I will soon regret
My friends have had enough, and they are sick of me
How I wish that we had never met

If I could, I’d find a way to travel back in time
And save myself from starting on this endless upward climb

I wanna build a time machine
And this is what I’d do:
I’d travel back in time and tell myself
To stay away from you

I’d write another ending to the story
And this time, I would win
I’d turn away from you in all your glory
And never look back again

I wouldn’t take the risk and try to talk to you
Even though I knew the odds were slim
I would admire from a distance and just leave it there
And the ending wouldn’t be so grim

I’d cast off my burden and I’d finally be free
Here’s hoping that I’d have the sense to listen well to me

I wanna build a time machine
To travel back into the past
And tell myself that you and I
Were never meant to last.

Well, traveling in my time machine
I’d go right every wrong
I could keep the Russians out of the election
But that’s a different song
But still I wonder, would it change the way things are today?
Yeah, things might be the way they are ‘cuz there’s no other way

Well, I guess I should be grateful that I met you
For your special presence in my life
But I’ve worked so hard at trying to forget you
Yeah, it really isn’t worth the strife

But even if I somehow got another chance
I fear it’s just the way I am
It’s possible that even if it wasn’t you
It would have been some other man

It may be that there’s no way to change my present plight
But God, I hope that one fine day, I finally get it right

I wanna build a time machine
But even if I could
I really doubt that using it
Would do me any good

I wanna build a time machine
To travel back into the past
And tell myself that you and I
Were never meant to last.

I wanna build a time machine
And this is what I’d do:
I’d travel back in time and tell myself
To stay away from you.
