If I Had My Time Again

Sometimes, it's like I'm stumbling forward
Hustled forward
Jostled from behind by time
Sometimes, it's like I'm being dragged
Yet always lagging
Trying to keep in time with time
But if I could stop the clock for just one day
If I could freeze a moment for a moment
Rest before the measure's over
Hold the beat for just one day
If I could wind it back and start afresh
Just a day to catch my breath
To make mistakes and set them right
Delay the coming of the night
If I had my time again
I would do it all the same
They say, but that's insane
Wouldn't you want to make a couple of changes?
Regrets, I'd not even have a few
If I could do this thing that you
Say you can do.
I've always dreamt of learning how to dance

Some days I go out without pants

It's so exciting

I slept with ninety

A new beginning

Percent of women

Every morning

In Punxsutawney

To have the time to strive for more

Between eighteen and eighty-four
And one dude when I was bored

If I had my time again
I'd take the path less trodden
Avoid the crap I trod in
Read a lot of books

I've stolen eighteen million bucks

And I would worry less about my nose looks

And I guess I'll do it again

And I would be a lot more zen

When

And I would punch

I

A lot of men

Had

If I had
My time again

If I had my time again
I would do it all the same
They claim, that that's ridiculous
Surely you'd want to make a couple of fixes?
All those boxes left unchecked
All the dreams you left neglected
You'd go back and put it right
I've always fancied learning how to climb

I once masturbated seven times

I'd study math

In the bath

And search for meaning

In one evening

And I'd run up hills

It wasn't fun, but still

I'd learn to paint

A man my age
Just to know
It's nice to know
I can

It's nice to know I can

If I had my time again
I'd sample all the samples
Look at things from different angles
I would not do it all the same
If I had my time again
If I had my time again

The things I'd handle better
I would send my unsent letters

I've started seven hundred fights

If I had my time back

And if you knew the endless nights
That I have wasted getting wasted
Contemplating different ways to suicide

I would write and I would write

And I have tried every food and every drink and every cheat
And I would add joy to other people's lives
And I would learn piano
And I would make a lot of friends
If I had my time
And every choice a thousand times
And I daily eat about a dozen donuts and I don't know why
And I don't know... why?
If I had my time again
I'd open all the doors I've never looked behind
And oh, the thing I'd taste, the things I'd try
And the misery I could prevent
And I will make a lot of friends
If I had my time
Again
I've opened all the doors I'd never looked behind
And oh I
I find the thing with these revolving rhymes
They're only fun cause you know they're going to end
Again, I have had it, I have had my time again
