I know you saw me flinch when you were telling me a story

About the things you did in your college days of glory

Out with your friends and staying up 'til early morning

I know you saw me flinch, I didn't mean to

I probably should have laughed a little harder at the punchline

When your friend was telling jokes recounting all your past times

When you got the courage to call up that psychic hotline

I should have laughed a little harder

I know you've got a past, I'd be remiss

To think that no one else has kissed those lips

I wish I had a time machine to go back and rewrite your history

Fix all my sensitivities, replace your ex in those memories

I know we're making our own now

But I can't shake feeling I missed out

Put them all in your periphery, yeah

I wish I had a time machine

I'd probably change the time you brought him back to your apartment

For a couple nights back when you were broken-hearted

And I know that was way before you and me had started

And I can't change it even if I tried

I know you've got a past but I still wish

I'd been in the very first to kiss those lips

I wish I had a time machine to go back and rewrite your history

Fix all my sensitivities, replace your ex in those memories

I know we're making our own now

But I can't shake feeling I missed out

Put them all in your periphery, yeah

I wish I had a time machine

I played it cool but you still call my bluff

I'm terrified I'm not the best there was

And it's keeping me up

How your memories cut

So I wish I had a time machine to go back and rewrite your history

Fix all my sensitivities, replace your ex in those memories

I know we're making our own now

But I can't shake feeling I missed out

Put them all in your periphery, yeah

I wish I had a time machine

I'd put them all in your periphery, yeah

I wish I had a time machine
