This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you
And you'd stay
I don't know why I did the things I did
I don't know why I said the things I said
Pride's like a knife it can cut deep inside
Words are like weapons, they wound sometimes
I didn't really mean to hurt you
I didn't want to see you go
I know I made you cry, but baby
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you
And you'd stay
If I could reach the stars
I'd give 'em all to you
Then you'd love me, love me, like you used to do
If I could turn back time
My world was shattered I was torn apart
Like someone took a knife and drove it
Deep in my heart
You walk out that door I swore that I didn't care
But I lost everything darling then and there
Too strong to tell you I was sorry
Too proud to tell you I was wrong
I know that I was blind, and darling
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you
And you'd stay
If I could reach the stars
I'd give 'em all to you
Then you'd love me, love me, like you used to do, oh
If I could turn back time (if I could turn back time)
If I could turn back time (if I could turn back time)
If I could turn back time, oh baby
I didn't really mean to hurt you
I didn't want to see you go
I know I made you cry
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you
If I could reach the stars
I'd give 'em all to you
Then you'd love me, love me, like you used to do
If I could turn back time (turn back time)
If I could find a way (find a way)
Then maybe maybe maybe you'd stay
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you
And you'd stay
I don't know why I did the things I did
I don't know why I said the things I said
Pride's like a knife it can cut deep inside
Words are like weapons, they wound sometimes
I didn't really mean to hurt you
I didn't want to see you go
I know I made you cry, but baby
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you
And you'd stay
If I could reach the stars
I'd give 'em all to you
Then you'd love me, love me, like you used to do
If I could turn back time
My world was shattered I was torn apart
Like someone took a knife and drove it
Deep in my heart
You walk out that door I swore that I didn't care
But I lost everything darling then and there
Too strong to tell you I was sorry
Too proud to tell you I was wrong
I know that I was blind, and darling
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you
And you'd stay
If I could reach the stars
I'd give 'em all to you
Then you'd love me, love me, like you used to do, oh
If I could turn back time (if I could turn back time)
If I could turn back time (if I could turn back time)
If I could turn back time, oh baby
I didn't really mean to hurt you
I didn't want to see you go
I know I made you cry
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you
If I could reach the stars
I'd give 'em all to you
Then you'd love me, love me, like you used to do
If I could turn back time (turn back time)
If I could find a way (find a way)
Then maybe maybe maybe you'd stay

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

I'm sure everyone has a moment where they said something they wish they hadn't
a sad song about saying something that turned out to be the straw that broke the camel's back. we've all done these things...made someone leave us because we were dim enough to say something or do obnoxious and insulting.
i think you are all missing the true nature of the singers regret,he did'nt leave her over 1 fight,he left her as she was constantly acting a bitch to him and sher drove him away over time and it's only now that she realises it but it's all too late and she's lost everything.She wants to go back and rectify her mistakes but she can't-lifes a bitch,you gotta live with the consequences.It's a song with a strong moral.
I'm quite sure he earned her disgust. As for morals, he doesn't have any
why you say that?
Ha ha 3 syllabyls just jokin um or trollin lol
the video remember the video to this song...
i cant believe barely anyone hasnt comment on this song! its great its about someone who has split up with some1 else after a huge fight and at the time couldnt admit that they were wrong cause they were too stubborn. But now they realised theyve been an idiot and wnat the person back by tryint to turn the time back and not saying those things they said and wanting everything back to normal!
makes me feel like i wanna break up with someone anyone just to sing this song.
I always thought it was about someone on death row who stabbed her lover to death and now regrets it.
i wish i could turn back time so i could shoot cher before she created this peice of shit song and decided to wrap herself in ducktape and sit on a cannon
Actually, I think in that part of the clip she's wearing jeans.
I always thought this song was dedicated to Chasity. The video does not support this! But if you listen to the words it could be a mother telling her daughter that she is sorry for not understanding. But in the end Cher accepts and loves her new son Chad.
