If I Knew Then Lyrics
Life should be like a game of cards. You make a mistake, shuffle the deck and start over. It should be just like driving in your car, get lost and your navigation system gets you closer.
(bridge)
But there ain't no handbook. You're on your own. Got no instructions when it comes to love. Cause once you do something, can't be undone. I wish I could take back letting you go.
(chorus)
If I knew then (what I know now) I wouldn't have said (I didn't need you around). Alone in this mess (silence is so loud). So I would treat you the best baby if I knew then what I know now. What I know now (what I know now). What I know now (what I know now). What I know now (what I know now). So I would treat you the best baby if I knew then what I know now.
I wish I got remote controls then I just rewind to the time it was better. Life should have a restart button so I could travel right back to the day that I met her.
(repeat bridge)

One of my favorites off of the album! So catchy and relatable!
I love this one!
I love this song. It seems to be about a breakup that he regrets. I can relate. I broke up with my boyfriend because of the distance, and we don't talk anymore because its too hard for both of us. If I knew I would miss him this much and feel this alone, I wouldn't have done it. Sometimes I wish I could rewind to the days I spent with him.
This is a song about having regrets after a break-up. The guy just realised something important that changed their relationship. He wants to return the good, old days where he had such a wonderful time with his girlfriend.
