Wish I had a magic watch

Click it back a couple years

Take the keys out of my own hand

Shake that kid and dry his tears

Thought I was flying on that bike

Till the world turned on its side

Now my right arm’s just along for the ride

My right leg’s there

But it hides

And my eyes keep splitting screens

Two iPads where one should be

I laugh so I don’t scream

But it still gets loud in me

If I had a magic watch

I’d rewind that day

Trade the road rash and the scars

For one more perfect play

I’d be out there on the mound

Let that baseball go

Now I can’t even throw

So I spin these “what ifs” slow

(yeah, I spin these “what ifs” slow)

Mom still keeps my old glove

Sits there by the backdoor mat

Says she sees me in the backyard

Every time she looks at that

Friends still send those highlight clips

Say

“Man

You were built to win”

I just joke I’m seeing double

So I get to watch it twice again (hey)

Yeah my eyes keep splitting screens

Two iPads where one should be

I crack jokes in the dark

So it doesn’t crack on me

If I had a magic watch

I’d rewind that day

Trade the road rash and the scars

For one more perfect play

I’d be out there on the mound

Let that baseball go

Now I can’t even throw

So I spin these “what ifs” slow

Would I still be me

If I never hit the ground?

Would I miss the hurt

And all the grit I’ve found?

I still wish I could turn it back

But the only time I’ve got is now

So I laugh at all this chaos

‘Cause crying feels too loud

If I had a magic watch

I’d rewind that day

Just to feel that wind again

Then choose the safer way

I’d be out there on the mound

Let that baseball go

But I’m stuck here in this body

Learning new ways to grow

Yeah I’m stuck here in this body

Learning new ways to glow
