"If Now Was Then" lyrics

"If Now Was Then"

Standing on the edge
Of our old corner on Broadway
I passed a couple kids
And oh, it felt like yesterday

That we were holding hands
And walking right down 15th Street
The wind was in my hair
And you had that red flush in your cheek, oh

And I know you find it funny, ooh
But I can't seem to let it go
I keep wishing there was something to do
Oh, don't you?

But if now was then, I would
Get out of my head, I would
Touch your chest, I would
Break the bed, I would
Say the things that I
Never said, oh, the
Things I'd do, oh
If now was then, but you can't take it back
Well, you can't take it back

When Anna threw that party
I remember seeing you
It'd been a couple of years
And we locked eyes across the room

You were with your new girl
Oh, and I had brought a guy
That I knew back in high school
But was so empty inside, oh

I know you find it funny, ooh
But I can't seem to let it go
I keep wishing there was something to do
Oh, don't you?

'Cause if now was then, I would
Get out of my head, I would
Touch your chest, I would
Break the bed, I would
Say the things that I
Never said, oh, the
Things I'd do, oh
If now was then, but you can't take it back
Oh, you can't take it back
Ooh, but you can't take it back
No, you can't take it back

I'd take it back, but I can't, I'm sorry
I know it hurts, but you shouldn't worry
I'd take it back, but I can't, I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry

I'd take it back, but I can't, I'm sorry
I know it hurts, but you shouldn't worry
I'd take it back, but I can't, I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
