Текст песни
I walked through dust and broken light
An old house groaning in the night
The garage door barely held its frame
Like it forgot my name
A rusted car, a ghost of steel
A thousand stories it could reveal
Then in the corner, cracked and worn
A clock that time had torn
I touched its face, cold and thin
Like holding something deep within
A quiet dare I couldn’t fight
So I turned back time that night
And the world lit up in a blinding glow
Like a memory waking I used to know
The rust fell off, the years undone
And the past and I became as one
I stepped outside, the air was new
Forty years I traveled through
But standing there, I understood
You can’t rewrite what once was good
The streets were young, the colors loud
Familiar faces in the crowd
Then I saw me, just twenty-three
Who I used to be
On a bench beneath a summer sky
With her soft laugh drifting by
The girl who’d be my whole life through
Before I ever knew
I had a thousand words to say
Warnings I could’ve thrown their way
But something in that moment’s grace
Told me not to change a place
So I just smiled and let it be
Watched that boy who once was me
Holding love with open hands
Not yet shaped by future plans
No regrets, no lines erased
Just quiet tears I never faced
Some things are right the way they start
Even if they break your heart
Back to the garage, the ticking sound
Like a heartbeat pulling me around
I turned the hands the other way
And let tomorrow find today
And the light came down, then faded slow
Left me where I had to go
The years returned, the car grew old
But I was richer than before
I lived it twice, I understand
Time’s not ours to command
Don’t chase ghosts or try to rewind
Peace is leaving things behind
So if you find a clock like mine
Don’t turn its hands against the time
Just close your eyes and you will see
The past is where it’s meant to be
