Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
When the sky breaks it rains So just let the H2O splash upon the graves Of all the souls I used to know but now have passed away Men say that time can heal a situation But this pain is not a passing phase Now I'm curious how many years a heart can ache Feel like a Minotaur meandering this darkened place Trying to find a way to maybe find the light of day If I could rewind then I'd re-live my life again And sit and hold my nan's hands while she felt the pain And say hello to old mates behind the pearly gates Given the chance to glance back at my childish face I'd try and smile the way I smiled just like a child again Before I had to say goodbye to anybody And the loved ones I've lost all had life within their bodies My side was less lonely then You wanna cry well come and hold me then I think I need the blessing of some holy men 'Cause everything is different now I'd really like to tell you how How I wanted you here by my side I know what I said but I lied It looked like I laughed but I cried But I wish I could push rewind If I had minutes on my hand just like a time piece I'd turn the clocks back and maybe try to find peace As well as my ID, so rewind me Just like a video cassette cause I'm upset that I ain't seen Some faces in a while just apparitions in my dream That ends abruptly when they try to hug me through the screen Of smoke that's engulfing me Like the coastline with its high tide And you can see the sands and the oceans meet No one told me when this ride began to hold my seat Time flies like Emmet Brown was in the driver's seat You talk of irony Well now I'm lonely But I'm searching for my privacy This life won't comply with me I think I need some dead relatives either side of me To keep me company and guide me through the library Of neverending stories full of lies and deceit Hi Ho Silver, Lone Ranger riding to the beat 'Cause everything is different now I'd really like to tell you how How I wanted you here by my side I know what I said but I lied It looked like I laughed but I cried But I wish I could push rewind If I could rewind time to its slowest I'd look at life at its heights and its lowest So I could maybe try to recollect What made me who I am besides a poet Besides a poet How I wanted you here by my side I know what I said but I lied It looked like I laughed but I cried But I wish I could push rewind
