Life got in the way (Time Machine)

         If I could find the time, not cross the line
When I say everything that's on my mind
         There's so much more we're living for
Hear the truth knocking at every door
         It's no surprise, when I'm old and wise
I can look forward when I close my eyes
         Like yesterday, I wish I could stay
But my life got in the way
Don't let life get in the way

The past is gone, keep the path you're on
as summer to winter fades
It's the proud you hear yell loud and clear
"World get out of my way"
Don't let the world get in the way

         If I could change some things, rearrange some things
I would embrace everything reverence brings
         Bring back the time when the world was mine
Not to bear the burden of an aimless rhyme
         Be a better man, than the one I am
I could take refuge when I make my stand
         Not fear today when I feel betrayed
Because life got in the way
Don't let life get in the way

If I could go back in time and start again
Go past the lies where the truth began
Starting life with a dissidence
Harmony, sight , and innocence
Start over with a faith renewed
Doing what all the other nameless do
Have another chance at certainty
Never change fate for destiny
Taking risks with circumstance
Descend to the depths that love demands
Cast my heart to rejection
And banish my thoughts to imperfection
Go back to a time and start again
Lead myself where I've never been
Reignite the design in me
If I could go back in a time machine

The past is gone, keep the path you're on
as summer to winter fades
It's the proud you hear yell loud and clear
"World get out of my way"
Don't let the world get in the way
