back to the past

I don't know if I'll live to tell this tale
If I get out alive will I die when I next fail
Why's talking so hard when it's easy for you
My lips are sealed with imaginary glue

I can't say if I'll live to tell this story
I might end up dead or you might choose to ignore me
And why can I not aim when the bad guys arrive
Guess this world's a train with or without you I'll ride

Somewhere stuck in the past
Need some lightning real fast
But still you'd fade from my photograph

I'd chuck in nineteen double five
And turn back the time
If it meant, that I didn't make you cry

I don't know if I'll live to say I'm sorry
Reconciling's either pointless or it's done so poorly
And why's healing a mess when the stab is so clean?
Guess you'll never know exactly all that I mean

All I know is that I tried to tell my story
That this doesn't mean you shouldn't just choose to ignore me
So I'll awkwardly nod when I see you again
And you don't have to tell people that we're friends

Somewhere stuck in the past
Need some lightning real fast
But still you'd fade from my photograph

I'd chuck in nineteen double five
And turn back the time
If it meant, that I didn't make you cry

And somehow stuck on a train
With no time to explain
But still you'd stay you wouldn't go away

I'd chuck in twenty fifteen
Hope the future was clean
If it meant I didn't see you leave
