Lyrics

guard down

If I could travel back in time
I would find myself and take his place
So I'd get a second try
I could not make the same mistakes I made
Let things play out a different way
I'm taking all the blame

I start to see things clearer now
'Cos I thought that I was growing up
But I'm acting like a child
I've been too busy living in my head
Working all week and all weekend
Could've been with you instead

I think I've been a selfish prick
I'm sure you've had enough of it
I think it's time that I just
Let my guard down

I know you've taken all you can
I hoped that you would understand
I think it's time that I just
Let my guard down

Let my guard down
Let my guard down
Let my guard down
I think it's time that I just

Go back to the way I was last spring
In the time since then I've done some things
I wish I never did
All the birthdays and valentines we shared
Strawberry jam and hotel beds
It was so much better then

I think I've been a selfish prick
I'm sure you've had enough of it
I think it's time that I just
Let my guard down

I know you've taken all you can
I hoped that you would understand
I think it's time that I just
Let my guard down

Let my guard down
Let my guard down
Let my guard down
I think it's time that I just

Let my guard down
Let my guard down
Let my guard down
I think it's time that I just
