If I could start over
I'd do it now
Before I get older
And lose track of how
How to make up the words
As I make up the song
And to make up the rules
As I'm going along
If I could start over
I'd do it now

If I could start over
I'd try to forget
All the answers I found out
Through loss and regret
I knew in the movies
The boys and girls kissed
But I didn't know love then
The pain or the bliss
If I could start over
I'd try to forget

I'd be high in a tree
I'd be looking down
Thinking no one could see
I was observing the ground
Build a house for the fairies
Down by the creek
And I'd offer them berries
Hoping to catch a peek

If I could start over
I'd end up the same
If I dare to be honest
It's a losing game
I was granted the world
I was given the moon
I had nothing but time
But it ran out too soon
If I could start over
I'd end up the same

I'd be high in a tree
I'd be looking down
Thinking no one could see
I was observing the ground
Build a house for the fairies
Down by the creek
And I'd offer them berries
Hoping to catch a peek

I'd be high in a tree
I'd be looking down
Thinking no one would see
I was observing the ground
Build a house for the fairies
Down by the creek
And I'd offer them berries
Hoping to catch a peek
Maybe this time?
Maybe this time...

If time is an illusion
Then I don't know the trick
And if my life's a candle, oh,
I'm burning down the wick
And when my days are over
I don't get another whirl
No more sunny days
As a smiling little girl

I'd dream of running away
And of cutting my hair
In the end I would stay
Rocked to sleep in a chair
I'd get lost in the pages
Of the stories I read
Summer days lasted ages
In my buzzing head

I'd be high in a tree
I'd be looking down
Thinking no one could see
I was observing the ground
Build a house for the fairies
Down by the creek
And I'd offer them berries
Hoping to catch a peek
Maybe next time?
Maybe next time...na na

Na na na na na
Na na
Na na na na na...

If I could start over
I'd do it now...
