Christina Perri and Ben Rector - back in time

If I had a time machine
That went right back to you and me for a minute
I wouldn't get in it
Okay, maybe I would climb inside
Press some buttons and turn the dial to that summer
Where my heart felt younger

I'm not saying things were better then
But I wish you could see smile at me again

'Cause I was in love, I could not explain it
We spoke in tongues, written in our own language
I was yours and you were mine
I made you mad, you drove me crazy
So simple then, but so complicated
I think of you and I don't know why
'Cause I can't go back in time

If I had the chance again
To stop the ending when it came
I wouldn't do it
Yeah, we were done and we knew it, hmm

See, I remember how it felt
All the heaven, all the hell that we went through
Doesn't mean I was meant for you

'Cause I was in love, I could not explain it
We spoke in tongues, written in our own language
I was yours and you were mine
I made you mad, you drove me crazy
So simple then, but so complicated
I think of you and I don't know why
'Cause I can't go back in time

You're happy now, I've settled down
I guess life is full of things we could live without
But that doesn't change the truth
Part of me was made by you

'Cause I was in love, I could not explain it
We spoke in tongues, written in our own language
I was yours and you were mine
I made you mad, you drove me crazy
So simple then, but so complicated
I think of you and I don't know why
'Cause I can't go back in time

If I had a time machine
That went right back to you and me for a minute
I wouldn't get in it
