I always admitted pity 'cause I was getting lonely
Oh-oh I was lonely, baby without you
I-I, always admitted pity, needed you to hold me

Oh boy you should've known me, I didn't know how to

Gone are the days of magic, those times were cool

I tried to make love not hate, what was I to do?
Oh, the beats were playing
We danced all night

We were kissing, til dark turned to light

Ah-ooh, rolling back the rivers in time

Can't wait, got to see his face somewhere
Ah-ooh, holding back the minutes gone by
Someday, got to see his face oh yeah


There's a feeling in my soul that sets my heart alight
I tell you, there's a feeling in my soul that tells me you're all mine

There's an arrow in my heart that you sent at seventeen
I tell you, there's a shadow in my heart that tells of what could've been


Ah-ooh, rolling back the rivers in time
Can't wait, got to see his face somewhere
Ah-ooh, holding back the minutes gone by

Someday, got to see his face oh yeah

Doesn't really matter, I felt nothing better before (ooh-ooh)

Sending him my letter, I know I won't regret it at all (ooh-ooh)
Doesn't really matter, a miracle can happen for sure (ooh-ooh)
I'd rather wait forever, babe, than never have it at all (ooh-ooh)


Ah-ooh, rolling back the rivers in time
Can't wait, got to see his face somewhere

Ah-ooh, holding back the minutes gone by
Someday, got to see his face oh yeah


Ah-ooh, rolling back the rivers in time
Can't wait, got to see his face somewhere
Ah-ooh, holding back the minutes gone by

Someday, got to see his face oh yeah
