[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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 always dreamt of learning how to dance
Some days I go out without pants
It's so exciting
I slept with 90
A new beginning
Percent of women
Every morning
In Punxsutswney
To have the time to strive for more
Between 18 and 84, and one dude when I was bored
[Verse 3]
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 18 million bucks
And I would worry less about my nose
And I guess I'll do it again
And I would be a lot more zen
When I would punch
A lot of men
If I had my time again
[Verse 4]
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 7 times
I'd study math
In the bath
And search for meaning
In one evening
And I'd run uphills
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
If I had my time again
The things I'd handle better, I would sent my unsent letters
I've started 700 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 could write
And I would try every food and every drink and every cheat and every choice a thousand times
And I would add joy to other people's lives
And I would learn piano
And I would make a lot of friends
And I daily eat about a dozen donuts and I don't know why, I don't know why
And i would learn piano
And I would make a lot of friends
And if I had my time
[Verse 7]
If I had my time again
I'd opened all the doors I'd never looked behind before
And oh the things I'd taste, the things I'd try
I find the thing with these revolving rides
And the misery I could prevent
They're only fun cause you know they're going to end
And I would make a lot of friends
If I had my time again
Again, I have had it, I have had my time again
