Turn Back Time
Do you ever wish you could turn back the clock?
Or maybe, stop time altogether?
As the seconds tick by, do you ever think,
In this moment, it’s now or never?
Do you ever wish you could go back to a certain hour?
Or maybe, a particular day?
As the pendulum sways, do you ever think,
I’m in the here and now, come what may?
Do you ever wish you could turn back the clock?
Or maybe, stop time altogether?
As the seconds tick by, do you ever think,
I could live in that moment forever?
Do you ever wish you could go back to a certain hour?
Or maybe, a particular day?
As the pendulum sways, do you ever think,
I’m living my life right now and that’s okay?
Do you ever wish that time could wait?
Or maybe, it didn’t slip by so fast?
It’s okay to look back on happier times,
Just please, don’t dwell on hardships from the past.
