[Verse 1] [Intro: wind chimes] I left that place before dawn Rain in my eyes, no sleep Your voice stayed under my skin I trusted you that deep I made one mistake at thirteen Your hands changed everything [Pre-Chorus] Now I feel it when i lean back That old weight in my spine Every wrong turn I made Leads back to that one time And I hear you in the back of my mind Saying "boy, look alive" (look alive) [Chorus] The time I stepped back in time and watched you hit me again and again I came back broke I came back raw The time I stepped back in time and watched you hit me again and again I held that hurt I held that loss (The time I stepped back in time) [Verse 2] Cold night air through the window Hands on the wheel, no plan Dash light cut through the dark Like a scar across my hand I kept my pride in the trunk Kept my fear in the floor But every mile I drove Took me back to that door [Pre-Chorus] Now I feel it when i lean back That old weight in my spine Every wrong turn I made Leads back to that one time And I hear you in the back of my mind Saying "boy, look alive" (look alive) [Chorus] The time I stepped back in time and watched you hit me again and again I came back broke I came back raw The time I stepped back in time and watched you hit me again and again I held that hurt I held that loss (The time I stepped back in time) [Bridge] If I could trade these miles For one clean breath I'd tell that kid sittin in that chair You didn't deserve this One mistake, thirteen years old And the hands I trusted changed everything (the truth) [Final Chorus] The time I stepped back in time and watched you hit me again and again I came back broke I came back raw I held that hurt I held that loss (The time I stepped back in time) [Final: wind chimes]
