"I Wish I Could Back Up" lyrics

I Wish I Could Back Up

I wish I could back up
And start all over
Cause now I'd know better
The best way to love her
The words I would tell her
The time I would give her
I wish I could back up
And start all over

Time takes you places
You never knew you'd be going
It softens the edges
Of memories you're towing
It changes the reasons
You wanted to hold her
I wish I could back up
And start all over

I wish I could back up
And start all over
I'd make the first time
Feel like forever
Not to be younger
May be just to be smarter
I wish I could back up
And start all over

Time takes you places
You never knew you'd be going
It softens the edges
Of memories you're towing
It changes the reasons
You wanted to hold her
I wish I could back up
And start all over

I wish I could back up
And start all over
Days I would take back
Nights I'd wanna make longer
Moments I'd never
Just throw over my shoulder
I wish I could back up
And start all over

But it's never too late
To wanna do better
Love's never easy
Changes just like the weather
Some days it's raining
Some are sunny and blue
There's never perfect
But there's faithful and true

Time takes you places
You never knew you'd be going
It softens the edges
Of memories you're towing
It changes the reasons
You wanted to hold her
I wish I could back up
And start all over
I wish I could back up
And start all over
