I thought with how tired I am I'd be able to sleep
But all I can do is think about how things used to be
Those friendships I held so dear, swore I'd never replace
They're gone now, and in my heart there's just this hurting, ugly space
Sure, I have new friends--people that make me smile
But that doesn't take back the memories or turn back the dial
Tonight I just want a time machine, to go back to my past
Relive all those memories, those friendships that didn't last.
Time, it just taunts me, won't let me have a choice
Sometimes I want to go back, but it says I have no voice
What I want, it doesn't matter, because it will never happen
I'm supposed to move on with life, if I don't like it, just keep acting
Growing up, it's not my favorite thing, it's not an easy life
Yeah, there's beauty still, but that doesn't dissolve all the inner strife
The regrets of past mistakes, or lack of self ambition
They haunt me like a ghost, fill my heart with inhibitions.
Tonight I just want to sleep, and to let go of these bad dreams
Of mistakes and things unchangeable--but in my heart they scream.
Worrying about the future, crying about the past
Neither of those things are feelings that anyone wants to last
I've got a future ahead of me, whether I like it or not
A beautiful canvas, it doesn't have a spot
So yeah, I'll make more mistakes, add them to my list
But tonight I'm going to get some sleep, stop this foolishness
So God, please take these feelings of regret and fear
And please put in my heart a trust, the same one that's lead me here
You've been with me all this way, through the great and through the hard
And every step of the way you watch me and of my heart you will keep guard.
