Lyrics

If Time Permits

I don't wanna do it over 'cause I've made my case

But I wish that I could live another place

Try to make it over but it won't erase

So it looks like I'm still trapped inside this space

If time permits me

To right my wrong deed

If time permits me to live

I could throw a hundred things you did away

If it meant that we could have another day

If time permits me

To right my wrong deed

If time permits me to live

I don't want to do it over

I don't want to do it over

But it looks like I'm still trapped inside this space

If time permits me

To right my wrong deed

If time permits me to live
