If I could cheat;
Turn back the time
I'd fix the doubt
And make you mine.

I'd never take
That second guess;
I'd step right in --
I would confess.

I'd tear apart
All your blockades;
Expose myself
And my charades

I sang the words
Through someone's song
I never thought
That you'd catch on

Between each stave
There was a sigh
Another time
To say goodbye

Another time
To turn away
Not having said
The words to say

My eyes would stop
Lost in your gaze
In memory
Of distant days

Suppose back then
I had the chance--
I see it now
Lost in this trance

Would I have kissed
Your parted lips
And sink into
The drunk eclipse?

Or would I take
That second guess
And trap myself
In that same mess?

If I could cheat;
And fix this vice
Again, I'd doubt
And lose you twice.
