lyrics

If I knew then

The last train has gone now
And there’s next to no chance for a cab at all
I know where I’ve got to head to
There’s only one place that picks me up when I fall

Time can’t be rewound it only moves forward on
(It moves on)
Wasted so much in the past find my light when I know it’s gone
(oh, it’s gone)

Sorry ain’t a word that comes easy to an angry heart like mine
Especially now that I realise that I ain’t got a friend in time

Chorus
If I knew then, what I know now
Would I have walked a different way?
If I knew then, what I know now
Would I be where I am today?

Well these lights go out now and the world puts itself on pause
I guess I gotta think about how I move on
No good thinking about rewind or befores

Time waits for no man, slips through your hands like grains of sand
It’s taken me a little while to comprehend but now I understand

I either gotta press forward on my road or try to get off this train
No matter which way I got planned
There’s always joy as well as pain

Would another corner have led to somewhere true?
I guess I have to wonder, if only I knew…
