lyrics

Lately I’ve been thinking on how I ain’t no perfect man
‘Cause he had lived and died so long before I walked across this land
Still I see the shadows and I try to fit inside
But my old shape was badly bent before I knew my wrong from right

Still I try every day to make one less mistake
And give you all you say you wish you had
But I ain’t got no time machine
For when you say that you wish we never met

Well it’s hard to be your lover and it’s hard to be your friend
When you don’t offer no forgiveness it’s a game nobody wins
Still I broke that law so sacred – I broke that old Golden Rule
You know I never would want done to me the things I’ve done to you

So I try every day to make one less mistake
And give you all you say you wish you had
But I ain’t got no time machine
For when you say that you wish we never met

Well I guess all me and Jesus have in common is long hair
And that I love you even when you tell yourself that I don’t care
Still I did not come to save you – I could never be so bold
I just wanted to stay with you ‘til we both grew tired and old

So I tried every day to make one less mistake
And give you all you say you wish you had
But I ain’t got no time machine
For when you say that you wish we never met
