Back to the future
back to the future
See everybody's always asking me if i'm okay i laugh,
try to play it off like you didn't mean a thing
but who am i fooling cause girl it's plain to see
you are my everything
and when it's late at night, sometimes i close my eyes
think about the days, back when you were mine
turn back the hands of time to it
but then i'm back to the future again
You're on my mind 24/7, all the timei press rewind but i can't seem to stop the time
i keep fighting, tryna hold onto the past
but then i'm back to the future again
back to the future,
back to the future again
back to the future,
back to the future again
If we could go back in time, could we fix it?
and if i gave you a chance, could you change?
and all the damage we've done, can we mend it?
somehow erase the pain
and when it's late at night, sometimes i close my eyes
and i imagine us in another life
turn back the hands of time to it
but then i'm back to the future again

You're on my mind 24/7, all the time
i press rewind but i can't seem to stop the time
i keep fighting,
tryna hold onto the past
but then i'm back to the future again
Girl if i come to the rescue
go back in time, try to save you
said it was destiny, girl would you trust in me
like we were meant to be
oh boy i try to forget you
but my heart can't seem to let you




no i can't say goodbye, no matter how hard i try
i just can't let you go
