If I Had My Time Again

If I Had My Time Again - Barrett Doss/Andy Karl/Groundhog Day The Musical Company/Tim Minchin

Written by：Tim Minchin

Sometimes it's like I'm stumbling forward

Hustled forward

Jostled from behind by time

Sometimes it's like I'm being dragged

Yet always lagging

Trying to keep in time with time

But if I could stop the clock for just one day

If I could freeze a moment for a moment

Rest before the measure's over

Hold the beat for just one day

If I could wind it back and start afresh

Just a day to catch my breath

To make mistakes and set them right

Delay the coming of the night

If I had my time again

I would do it all the same

They say but that's insane

Wouldn't you want to make a couple of changes

Regrets I'd not even have a few

If I could do this thing that you

Say you can do

I've always dreamt of learning how to dance

Some days I go out without pants

It's so exciting

I slept with ninety

A new beginning

Percent of women

Every morning

In punxsutawney

To have the time to strive for more

Between eighteen and eighty four

And one dude when I was bored

If I had my time again

I'd take the path less trodden

Avoid the crap I trod in

Read a lot of books

I've stolen eighteen million bucks

Would worry less about my looks

I'll do it again

And I would be a lot more zen

When

And I would punch

I

A lot of men

Had

If I had

My time again

If I had my time again

I would do it all the same

They claim that that's ridiculous

Surely you'd want to make a couple of fixes

All those boxes left unchecked

All the dreams you left neglected

You'd go back and put it right

I've always fancied learning how to climb

I once m*********d seven times

I'd study math

In the bath

And search for meaning

In one evening

And I'd run up hills

It wasn't fun but still

I'd learn to paint

A man my age

Just to know

I can

It's nice to know I can

If I had my time again

I'd sample all the samples

Look at things from different angles

I would not do it all the same

If I had my time again

If I had my time again

The things I'd handle better

I would send my unsent letters

I've started seven hundred fights

And if you knew the endless nights

That I have wasted getting wasted

Contemplating different ways to suicide

I would write and I would write

And I have tried every food and every drink and every cheat

And every choice a thousand times

Add joy to other people's lives

Daily eat about a dozen donuts and I don't know why

And I would learn piano

And I would make a lot of friends

If I had my time

If I had my time again

I'd open all the doors I've never looked behind

And oh

The things I'd taste the things I'd try

On the thing with these revolving rides

And the misery I could prevent

They're only fun cause you know they're going to end

And I will make a lot of friends

If I had my time

Again

Again I have had it I have had my time again
