Time Turner

Looking back
I wonder now
Could things have been different?
And I wonder how.

There's so much that
I would like to erase
Things that I did
Just in case.

Why was I
So scared to do
Things that I wanted,
Things that were true?

Why did I do
All those things
Things that I shouldn't have,
Things that I did.

But now it's too late,
We're leaving so soon
Never coming back
To this very room.

If I had a time turner
I would go back,
Undo the mistakes,
Put my wrongs in the sack.

If I had a time turner
I would change
Everything that happened
When things went out of range.

If I had a time turner.

But then I see
These memories are mine
I shouldn't want to erase them
In the future, anytime.

Maybe, if I had a time turner
I would go back
And replay the past,
Do everything I did first.

A memory is a memory,
There's no way to change,
We should be happy
Even when things go out of range.
