I want to travel back in time
to the best time of my life
I want to travel back in time
to the time I was young and in love
winds clearing branches of their leaves
The yellow, the red, the brown leaves
Temperatures falling,
A sign that fall again is here
it has come around again,
Just as it did when I was young and naive
It caught me by surprise and off my guard
And before I knew it, I fell hard
Fall would be the season I would fall in love
It was a regular, ordinary day like any other
Made the most significant day of my entire life
I remember the time, the place, the earth-shattering revelation
I could tell you the time, the place, the girl
But then again, why?
It was so long ago, why should I even care?
It may as well be forgotten
I should just forget it!
She is a married woman now
She lives in the same town
I could run into her at the market, or the park with her kids
But I never have, in over 20 falls
I remember it like it was yesterday.
But it does me no good to remember
the dream that was not to be
I want to travel back in time
to the best fall of my life!
i want to travel back in time
to the fall I would fall in love!
I hate love!
No, just because your heart was broken
It doesn’t mean love is evil
I hate love!
No, don’t say so
You must not say so
I will, I will say it…
Of all I have ever felt, love is the best!
