Lyrics

Even if time machines existed I wouldn't want to go back and revisit

Expressing a reluctance to use time machines to revisit the past.

Oh there's nothing there for me

Stating that the past holds nothing of value for the speaker.

There's no righting wrongs

Asserting that there is no way to correct past mistakes.

We're to far along

Indicating that the point of no return has been reached.

If the past could change

Contemplating the hypothetical idea of changing the past.

I wouldn't have a song

Reflecting on the fact that without the past, the speaker wouldn't have a story to share.

To sing to you and set you free

Using music to convey emotions and provide solace.

Sing there's nothing like the present

Emphasizing the importance of living in the present moment.

When you're thankful for your blessings

Expressing gratitude for current blessings despite imperfections.

No I haven't got it perfect

Acknowledging personal imperfections but staying connected with others.

But I'm right there with you cause

Sharing the journey of navigating life's challenges together.


I'm still learning how to let go

Admitting the ongoing process of learning how to release the past.

But I really don't feel like letting go

Expressing hesitancy about fully letting go of the past.

Life's to short for a sad soul

Highlighting the brevity of life and the avoidance of sadness.

So I'ma keep on driving till I gain control

Committing to moving forward despite challenges to gain control.

Oh why's it seem so easy when I say shit

Noting the apparent ease of speaking about letting go.

Now the pressures put on and I can't quit

Feeling pressure and being unable to easily let go as intended.

I know it's hard I'm honest and I can admit

Acknowledging the difficulty, being honest, and admitting imperfection.

Gotta leave the past in the past to make it

Recognizing the necessity of leaving the past behind to move forward.


And I keep on building these walls up in my mind

Metaphorically describing the mental barriers the speaker constructs.

I know they ain't real

Acknowledging that these mental barriers are not grounded in reality.

My therapist told me a hundred times

Revealing the repetition of advice from a therapist about overcoming mental barriers.

Keep on tripping down the rabbit hole

Using a metaphor of falling down a rabbit hole to depict losing control.

Numb and feeling out of control

Feeling emotionally numb and overwhelmed.

Reminding myself that I still have time

Reassuring oneself about the availability of time for positive change.


I'm still learning how to let go

Reiterating the ongoing struggle to let go of the past.

But I really don't feel like letting go

Expressing a reluctance to fully embrace the idea of letting go.

Life's to short for a sad soul

Reiterating the brevity of life and the rejection of a sad demeanor.

So I'ma keep on driving till I gain control

Committing to persistent efforts to gain control and move forward.

Oh why's it seem so easy when I say shit

Questioning the apparent ease of expressing intentions to let go.

Now the pressures put on and I can't quit

Highlighting the increased pressure hindering the process of letting go.

I know it's hard I'm honest and I can admit

Reiterating the acknowledgment of difficulty, honesty, and imperfection.

Gotta leave the past in the past to make it

Stressing the importance of leaving the past behind for future progress.
