Last night I made this time machine
And I went back when everything was right
But I couldn't stay for long

The alarm woke me up
And you were gone
And I made my way down these steps like I've always done

The light flickers off cause I left it on
But I don't see anything wrong with
Telling you how I felt

About these last few years without you

You can't always get what you want

From people that never even knew from the start
I've had this knot tied inside
But I want it out

But I know the truth
Won't get past my mouth this time


Close your eyes cause you're coming with me
We're going back but it wont be easy
Forget everything (forget everything!)

Right now, everybody's gonna ask why I left
And every second step to every chance that ever passed me by


You can't always get what you want
From people that never even knew from the start
I've had this knot tied inside

But I want it out
But I know the truth
Won't get past my mouth this time
