Lyrics
If I could go back to the start
Before you opened up your heart to me
Before you said I was the only one
Back before we both began to see
I’d skip over my mistakes
A photo shoot with no retakes
I’d try to re-set the clock
A different key in a different lock
And maybe if I had been on time
And maybe if I kept you in mind
Then maybe I would have found a way
I’d be there today
And maybe we’d both be at home
Maybe I wouldn’t be alone
I made a mess, I should have said yes
Not maybe
It’s crystal clear to me now
Boldly obvious exactly how, you’re right
I left you waiting in vain
No fun being out in the rain, at night
It takes two to tango they say
But I don’t see it quite that way
The only places this one lands
Are my shoulders and in my hands
And maybe if I had been on time
And maybe if I kept you in mind
Then maybe I would have found a way
I’d be there today
And maybe we’d both be at home
Maybe I wouldn’t be alone
I made a mess, I should have said yes
Not maybe
And maybe if I had been on time
And maybe if I kept you in mind
Then maybe I would have found a way
I’d be there today
And maybe we’d both be at home
Maybe I wouldn’t be alone
I made a mess, I gotta confess
You were the best, I should have said yes
Not maybe
