If there were a way to go back in time
I wouldn't waste another day
I would wipe the tears I've cried
and say the words I've wanted to say
I know because I was quiet
when you asked if I wanted you
you went ahead and bought it
although I really do
if today was yesterday again
I wouldn't let a second pass by
at night, a quarter after ten
I had told the stupidest lie
all because I said no
when you asked me if I loved you
you felt embarrassed letting your feelings show
even though I really do
If I could build a time machine
and find you alone at the playground
I would add up the nerve in me
walk up to you and spin you around
lock my arms around you tight
without the lies, say I need you
you'd kiss me with all of your might
cause you'll know that I really do
but I can't go back in time
and today can't be yesterday
it's already stuck in your mind
that I don't need you anyway
but if you gave me another chance
I promise I'll tell how I feel about you
you'll be surprised that I want you as my man
cause sincerely, I really do
