[Verse 1] He got a clock in his palm Second hand shaking like it's scared of him Bookmark scars in his journal Red ink circles every bad decision Backspace, heartbeat jumps One step back, watch the ripple run Old fight fades, bruise undone Phone lights up, it's a different one Mama never cried that night Cool breeze blowing through a brand-new life But the kid in the mirror got stranger eyes Same face, whole other kind of quiet [Chorus] He can turn back time, line by line (line by line) Fix one crack, three more unwind (they unwind) Every small change redraws his sky Broken timeline, future on fire He can turn back time, scene by scene (scene by scene) Clean old mess, contaminate dreams (yeah) Thought he was saving his own bright light Now the road runs nowhere, wrong sunrise [Verse 2] He rewound that car at the red Pulled his friend back from the edge of the ledge Now the city speaks with a colder tongue New gang names on the underpass tags Ex love never learned his name But a stranger hums their song on the train Billboard face got his crooked smile Different brand, same dimple, same style He dodged that layoff in May Boss shook hands, then a squad came raidin' Different badge, same accusation History hunts from a crooked angle [Chorus] He can turn back time, line by line (line by line) Fix one crack, three more unwind (they unwind) Every small change redraws his sky Broken timeline, future on fire He can turn back time, scene by scene (scene by scene) Clean old mess, contaminate dreams (dreams) Thought he was saving his own bright light Now the road runs nowhere, wrong sunrise [Bridge] Calendar shredded on the bedroom floor Days rearranged like a shuffled deck He prays, "Let me put it all back" Clock face laughs with a glitch in its neck Every "sorry" stitched into the past Comes back sharp in a different mask He forgot that the future bleeds When you cut old fabric, thread by thread (yeah) [Chorus] He can turn back time, line by line (line by line) Fix one crack, three more unwind Every small change redraws his sky Broken timeline, future on fire He can turn back time, scene by scene (scene by scene) Erase old sins, write new extremes Thought he was saving his own bright light Now he's stuck in the loop of a wrong sunrise

rap, Moody glitch-hop trap beat with stuttering drums and warped vocal chops, swung hi-hats, and deep sub bass; verses ride a tight pocket with bitcrushed synths and granular glitches, chorus opens into wide, detuned pads and layered male vocals, occasional reverse FX swells underline the time-bend theme, hook keeps a hypnotic loop energy for a 2–3 minute cut, glitch hop, glitch, hip hop
