IF I COULD GO BACK

UNKNOWN:

It’s funny…

You don’t remember the big things first.

It’s always something small.

Passed by that library

The other day

Didn’t even mean to

Look your way

Same old doors

Same corner outside

For a second

We were seventeen in my mind

You were laughing

I was talking too much

Didn’t know then

I’d remember this stuff

Thought we had forever

To figure it out

Guess that’s what you think

When you’re young

I know I messed up

More than I’ll admit

Had something good

Didn’t know what to do with it

Now all these little memories

Hit different

Knowing I can’t go back

If I could go back

I wouldn’t change how we met

I’d change all the moments

I made you regret

I’d listen when you spoke

Instead of proving I’m right

Wouldn’t make you feel alone

While I’m right by your side

If I could go back

I’d know what I had

But knowing it now

Don’t change the past

So I live with the fact

That I learned too late

Some things you lose

Don’t come back the same

I remember your voice

When you got annoyed

How you’d get real quiet

When you couldn’t make your point

I thought tomorrow

Would fix everything

Never knew one day

Tomorrow wouldn’t mean anything

And yeah

I know you’re doing fine

I don’t need somebody

Keeping tabs on your life

I just wonder sometimes

If you ever drive by

Something that makes you

Remember me too

I know I messed up

I know that’s mine

Can’t blame being young

For every single time

I had something real

Right there in my hands

And treated forever

Like it couldn’t end

If I could go back

I wouldn’t change how we met

I’d change all the moments

I made you regret

I’d listen when you spoke

Instead of proving I’m right

Wouldn’t make you feel alone

While I’m right by your side

If I could go back

I’d know what I had

But knowing it now

Don’t change the past

So I live with the fact

That I learned too late

Some things you lose

Don’t come back the same

Maybe saying sorry now

Would only help me

Maybe you’ve already become

Who you’re supposed to be

And maybe loving you now

Means leaving you alone

So I won’t call.

I won’t.

…I just hope you’re good.

If I could go back

I’d tell that younger me

Don’t take her love

Like it’s guaranteed

One day that library

Will just be a place

And you’ll stand outside

Trying to remember her face

But I can’t go back

So I’ll leave it alone

Some memories belong

Where they already went

And if you never

Think of me again…

I understand.

UNKNOWN:

Take care.

Yeah.
