[[Intro | Single Piano Notes, Low Electric Guitar Hum] [Male | Close, Almost Spoken] If there was a button... Would you push it? [Verse 1 | Male | Low, Weathered] There's a year I wouldn't mind seeing, And a day I'd like to find. A room I can still picture Though I haven't been there in a long time. I remember who was sitting there, And where the sunlight fell. Can't remember what we talked about. I wish I could remember that as well. I used to think the years ahead Held everything I'd need. Now sometimes I catch myself Looking backward instead of down the street. [Verse 2 | Male | Reflective, Building] Suppose I had a little switch That could take me anywhere Along the line I've traveled, To a moment waiting there. Would I pick the day I got it right? Or the one I got it wrong? Would I go back for somebody, Or just stay where I belonged? And if I knew what happened next, Would I still say what I said? Or would I spend the whole damn day Trying to change what lay ahead? [Pre-Chorus | Rising Guitar, Floor Toms] THE PAST CAN'T SURPRISE ME! I KNOW HOW THOSE DAYS END! BUT TOMORROW'S STILL A STRANGER I HAVEN'T LEARNED TO TRUST YET! [Chorus | Male | Huge Echoing Drums, Soaring Guitar] GIVE ME A REPLAY SWITCH! LET ME PICK A PLACE IN TIME! ONE DAY I CAN STEP BACK INTO, ONE MOMENT I CAN CALL MINE! I DON'T NEED TO LIVE FOREVER! I DON'T NEED ANOTHER LIFE! I JUST WANT TO SEE WHAT I WAS MISSING WHEN I THOUGHT I HAD THE TIME! GIVE ME A REPLAY SWITCH! JUST ONCE, JUST FOR A WHILE! LET ME STAND INSIDE A MEMORY BEFORE I HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE! [Instrumental | Electric Guitar Echoes] [Verse 3 | Male | Intimate] Maybe I'd choose some Tuesday That meant nothing at the time. No wedding, no great victory, No reason to remember why. Just a familiar voice behind me, A chair pulled to the table, Somebody asking if I'd eaten, And me saying, “Yeah, I'm able.” I'd know that day was numbered, Though nobody else would know. And I'd try so hard to hold it That I'd forget to let it go. [Verse 4 | Male | Darker, More Urgent] But what if I could change it? What if I could turn around Before I made that one decision That sent everything another way? Would I still become the person Who is standing here tonight? Would I lose the things I love now Trying to set the old ones right? And who would I be hurting If I got the past I chose? There are people in my life today That the younger me won't know. [Chorus | Male | Full Band, Bigger] GIVE ME A REPLAY SWITCH! LET ME PICK A PLACE IN TIME! ONE DAY I CAN STEP BACK INTO, ONE MOMENT I CAN CALL MINE! I DON'T NEED TO LIVE FOREVER! I DON'T NEED ANOTHER LIFE! I JUST WANT TO SEE WHAT I WAS MISSING WHEN I THOUGHT I HAD THE TIME! GIVE ME A REPLAY SWITCH! JUST ONCE, JUST FOR A WHILE! LET ME STAND INSIDE A MEMORY BEFORE I HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE! [Guitar Solo | Haunting, Sustained Notes, Hammond Organ] [Thunderous Floor Toms | Long Hall Echo] [Bridge | Drums Drop Out, Piano and Guitar] [Male | Quiet] I keep thinking of the places I could go if I had the chance. And every time I choose one, There's another slipping past. [Male | Voice Rising] I CAN'T SAVE EVERY MOMENT! I CAN'T KEEP EVERY FRIEND! AND IF I GO BACK FAR ENOUGH, I'LL HAVE TO LOSE THEM ALL AGAIN! [Full-Band Stop | Silence] [Male | Almost Whispered] Maybe that's the trouble With wanting yesterday. [Final Chorus | Male | Powerful, Raw] GIVE ME A REPLAY SWITCH! LET ME PICK A PLACE IN TIME! LET ME HEAR A VOICE I'VE MISSED AND SEE A FACE I LEFT BEHIND! BUT DON'T LET ME STAY FOREVER! DON'T LET ME LOSE MY WAY! THERE MAY BE SOMETHING WORTH THE WAITING IN A DAY I HAVEN'T LIVED YET! [Male | Sustained Belt] I STILL WANT THAT REPLAY SWITCH! [Band Pulls Back] [Male | Soft] I just don't know If I'd press it. [Outro | Piano, Distant Electric Guitar] There's a year I wouldn't mind seeing. There's a day I'd like to find. But the clock keeps moving forward. And I guess... So do I. [Final Piano Note | Long Natural Room Echo] [End]
