Turn Back Time
Regretful Reflections: Turning Back Time on Missed Opportunities
Lyrics
You saw the best in me
You recognized my best qualities.
When I was at my worst
During my lowest moments, you stood by me.
I had an opportunity
An opportunity presented itself.
To see what you and I could be
We could have explored what our relationship could become.
But now that chance is gone gone
Unfortunately, that opportunity has passed.
I wish I'd turn back time and get away from that dark place
I wish I could reverse time and escape a dark period in my life.
There's so much ahead of me In our crazy wild world
There are many possibilities in our unpredictable world.
And It could've been with you
This potential future could have been shared with you.
But now that chance is gone
However, that opportunity is no longer available.
Now that chance is gone
Reiteration of the missed chance.
Forget it
An expression of giving up or letting go.
Fiona once told me she said
A reference to advice received from Fiona.
Don't go to sleep to dream, she said
Advice to avoid unrealistic dreams.
But I ignored her words and look where all that got me now
Regret for not heeding the advice, leading to negative consequences.
Cause I stuck around through of it
I endured challenges without caring.
And never even gave a Shit
Regret for not showing concern or care.
When she left me in that lifeless pit
A reference to being abandoned in a difficult situation.
Yeah
An expression of pain or acknowledgment of a difficult experience.
Now I regret the time I spent
Reflecting on wasted time.
Cause I could've been with you instead
This time could have been spent with the listener.
But now that chance is gone gone
Reiteration of the missed opportunity.
I wish Id turn back time and get away from that dark place
Desire to reverse time and escape a negative period.
There's so much ahead of me In our crazy wild world
There are exciting prospects in the future.
And It could've been with you
This positive future could have been shared with you.
But now that chance is gone
Reiteration of the missed chance.
Now that chance is gone
Final acknowledgment of the lost opportunity.
Forget it
Reiteration of letting go or moving on.
I wish I could
Expressing a wish to change the past.
Go back in time
Desire to go back in time.
I wish I could
Repeated desire to reverse time.
I wish I could
Emphasis on the longing to change the past.
I hate that I
Regret for neglecting or setting aside the listener.
Put you aside
Expressing regret for prioritizing other matters.
I wish I could
Reiteration of the desire to change the past.
Go back in time
Final wish to reverse time.
