Diplo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One night it was over
Woke up I was sober
You were done getting closer

One night it was over
Woke up I was sober
You were done getting closer
I still think about you when I'm feeling lonely
I still think about you when I'm with somebody
You've been on my mind
I wish that I could turn back time
I wish that I could turn back time
Time

I wish that I could turn back time

I've been down really badly lately. I'm not joking but it only took me once to hear this song and immediately I became way more optimistic and excited. Something inside me activated and immediately released true joy, something that I haven't experienced in a while unfortunately. This song is definitely one for my memories.
