Can We Begin Again?
Can we begin again?
Can we go back to 1997?
Can I tell you a secret about me
and then kiss you,
maybe for the only time?
Can we go back to that night
at my apartment?
Can I tell you
what I was too scared to
then?
Could you overcome
your shyness
to tell me
maybe you felt the same?
Would you give me
one night
if we went back there again?
Are you willing to take a different path?
Are you willing to trade
your history
for what could have been
what would have been
what should have been?
If I could see you again,
the way we both were.
would you accept my invitation
to the love of your life?
Would you let me kiss?
Would you let me taste?
Would you give me the chance
to ruin your faith?
If we could pick up
where we left off,
would our story go on?
Would it have a new ending?
If I saw you again,
would our feelings be the same?
There’s so many things
I wish I could know.
But I gave that chance up
years ago.
If I could travel through time,
you’d be the first one I’d see.
So I could ask you
if you ever wanted me.
I can’t deal with
the fact
that you’re gone.
While your memory
lingers on and on.
Come back to me in visions.
Come back to me in dreams.
Come back to me, baby.
Don’t leave me at the
edge of paradise
without you.
