If I Had My Time Again

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 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've always dreamt of learning how to dance Some days I go out without pants It's so exciting I slept with ninety A new beginning Percent of women Every morning In Punxsutawney To have the time to strive for more Between eighteen and eighty-four And one dude when I was bored 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 eighteen million bucks And I would worry less about my nose looks And I guess I'll do it again And I would be a lot more zen When And I would punch I A lot of men Had If I had My time again 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 seven times I'd study math In the bath And search for meaning In one evening And I'd run up hills 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 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 If I had my time again The things I'd handle better I would send my unsent letters I've started seven hundred 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 would write And I have tried every food and every drink and every cheat And I would add joy to other people's lives And I would learn piano And I would make a lot of friends If I had my time And every choice a thousand times And I daily eat about a dozen donuts and I don't know why And I don't know... why? If I had my time again I'd open all the doors I've never looked behind And oh, the thing I'd taste, the things I'd try And the misery I could prevent And I will make a lot of friends If I had my time Again I've opened all the doors I'd never looked behind And oh I I find the thing with these revolving rhymes They're only fun cause you know they're going to end Again, I have had it, I have had my time again
