I longed for time travel long before losing you,
But it was always motivated by the same goal:
To love you a little bit harder
and hold you a little bit longer.
Before, I wished I could go back
So I could meet you just
A little bit sooner
So we could have our love
A little bit longer.
Now I wish I could go back to the beginning
So I could love you
A little bit harder
For just a little while longer.
Looking back, you were loving me differently than I understood at the time
But I wish I could go back and shake Past Me by the shoulders and say:
"You only have this for a little while longer"
Appreciate this while you can
And love him a little bit harder."
Now, I sit in my bathtub, crying in the dark
Wrapped in your old jacket
That I keep pulling a little bit tighter
Wishing I could hold you a little bit longer.
