I Wish You Were a Movie

I wish you were a movie
So I could rewind you
So much you'll forget
But I can remind you
And if you get lost
Well, I could go find you, yeah
If you were a book on a library shelf
I'd read you again although you wouldn't yourself
Cuz you'd rather read about somebody else, oh yeah
But it's almost over now
Yeah, you're almost grown
When the credits roll, there ain't no way to postpone
If I could give you a world
It wouldn't be this one
I'd fill it with people
Who cared and would listen
And none of the bad ones would warrant admission, yeah
But that's not the world that you're gonna inherit
It won't be your own
So you'll have to share it
With people who might try to crush your spirit, yeah
But it's almost over now
Yeah, you're almost grown
Wish I could start again as the credits roll
If you were a movie
I'd wanna rescreen it
Wish I'd paid more attention
The first time I seen it
But I'm only human, you know how that feels, oh yeah
There's no going back and there's no doing over
This song is as close as we'll get to closure
Step into the light
And say thanks for the show, oh yeah
And it's almost over now
Yeah, you're almost grown
Wish I could start again as the credits roll
