Lifeline

I just want to go back in time
And fix everything that I need to fix
I just want to go the other way around
I can't believe that this is my life now

My God, I should have seen this coming
I knew I thought I had it handled
But the truth is I needed a loyal friend
Someone to help me back up again

Why couldn't I've asked for a little help?
Was it pride or simply the lack of nerve?
My love, you called me, I was still in there
Stuck in that moment of hopeless despair

I'm the one who wants to go back in time
But to me, the truth is there is no time
And if there were time i'd keep in mind
That I should go looking for the lifeline

My God, you should just pick up the phone
I knew I thought I heard your voice
But the truth is it was only my imagination
And my imagination says the nicest things

But will you be mad when you find this out
Don't bother because i'm angry at myself already
And the words i'm anxious to hear aren't the first
But the last you would utter after you realise

That i'm the one who's got back from time
And to me, the truth is there is still time
And since there is time i'd keep in mind
That you're my one and only lifeline
