If I Could, I Would Try Again

Original

Water ripples as you step in.

I feel real when it hits my skin.

Stones feel cold against my feet.

Hands on shoulders standing in the green.

Get your hair wet, you'll insist.

As a child, something I wouldn't miss.

How did

I forget the joy in this?

I'm not brave like when I was a kid, ooh.

I wish I could rewind.

If you could, would you try again?

Face up, floating, watching clouds.

The past corroding, just here and now.

You come with me in this dream.

deferring the pain we slain, mm.

For another time.

You lie here by my side, oh.

I wish I could rewind.

If I could, I would try again.

Again.
