If I Could

Is it human nature to want to turn back the hands of time? We live in a system of trial and error and Sometimes the error is the heaviest burden So then what are we with information that is of no use By the time we learn the moment has passed What good then does it do? If I could go back,if I would've said this or done that Things would be different of course And a better place it would be So i could say "hey, distance doesn't mean a thing" Yet I don't see the ocean churning backwards with the moon at its tail And I don't see petals falling upwards to a rotting stem
