[Intro — warm guitar, distant keys]
UNKNOWN:
It’s funny…
You don’t remember the big things first.
It’s always something small.
[Beat enters]
[Verse 1]
Passed by that library
The other day
Didn’t even mean to
Look your way
Same old doors
Same corner outside
For a second
We were seventeen in my mind
You were laughing
I was talking too much
Didn’t know then
I’d remember this stuff
Thought we had forever
To figure it out
Guess that’s what you think
When you’re young
[Pre-Chorus]
I know I messed up
More than I’ll admit
Had something good
Didn’t know what to do with it
Now all these little memories
Hit different
Knowing I can’t go back
[Chorus]
If I could go back
I wouldn’t change how we met
I’d change all the moments
I made you regret
I’d listen when you spoke
Instead of proving I’m right
Wouldn’t make you feel alone
While I’m right by your side
If I could go back
I’d know what I had
But knowing it now
Don’t change the past
So I live with the fact
That I learned too late
Some things you lose
Don’t come back the same
[Verse 2]
I remember your voice
When you got annoyed
How you’d get real quiet
When you couldn’t make your point
I thought tomorrow
Would fix everything
Never knew one day
Tomorrow wouldn’t mean anything
And yeah
I know you’re doing fine
I don’t need somebody
Keeping tabs on your life
I just wonder sometimes
If you ever drive by
Something that makes you
Remember me too
[Pre-Chorus]
I know I messed up
I know that’s mine
Can’t blame being young
For every single time
I had something real
Right there in my hands
And treated forever
Like it couldn’t end
[Chorus]
If I could go back
I wouldn’t change how we met
I’d change all the moments
I made you regret
I’d listen when you spoke
Instead of proving I’m right
Wouldn’t make you feel alone
While I’m right by your side
If I could go back
I’d know what I had
But knowing it now
Don’t change the past
So I live with the fact
That I learned too late
Some things you lose
Don’t come back the same
[Bridge — stripped beat]
Maybe saying sorry now
Would only help me
Maybe you’ve already become
Who you’re supposed to be
And maybe loving you now
Means leaving you alone
So I won’t call.
I won’t.
[Pause]
…I just hope you’re good.
[Final Chorus]
If I could go back
I’d tell that younger me
Don’t take her love
Like it’s guaranteed
One day that library
Will just be a place
And you’ll stand outside
Trying to remember her face
But I can’t go back
So I’ll leave it alone
Some memories belong
Where they already went
And if you never
Think of me again…
I understand.
[Outro — instrumental]
UNKNOWN:
Take care.
[Pause]
Yeah.
