sometimes we wish we
could turn back time
take back some unkind words
we throw at each other
relationships can be good
and then go cold before winter
change comes faster
than we really want to admit
life is like a movie
the scenes just roll on
the thing is there's only one take
everything filmed all the mistakes
no time to throw in the towel
somethings we keep inside
locked in a secret
we only confess things
that will benefit us
like things that help us better
our living situation
when you really think about it
in your present relationship
that's when our business becomes the same
our past can be picked up on the curb
nobody wants to read yesterday's news
looking back can be nice sometimes
like fantasies like the mystery
of how we crossed paths
and how your voice i still hear
