[RITA HANSON] Sometimes, it's like I'm stumbling forward
Hustled forward
Jostled from behind by time
Sometimes, it's like I'm being dragged
Yet always lagging
Trying to keep in time with time
But if I could stop the clock for just one day
If I could freeze a moment for a moment
Rest before the measure's over
Hold the beat for just one day
If I could wind it back and start afresh
Just a day to catch my breath
To make mistakes and set them right
Delay the coming of the night
If I had my time again
I would do it all the same
They say, but that's insane
Wouldn't you want to make a couple of changes?
Regrets, I'd not even have a few
If I could do this thing that you
Say you can do
I've always dreamt of learning how to dance
[PHIL CONNORS] Some days I go out without pants
[RITA] It's so exciting
[PHIL] I slept with ninety
[RITA] A new beginning
[PHIL] Percent of women
[RITA] Every morning
[PHIL] In Punxsutawney
[RITA] To have the time to strive for more
[PHIL] Between eighteen and eighty-four
And one dude when I was bored
[RITA] If I had my time again
I'd take the path less trodden
Avoid the crap I trod in
Read a lot of books
[PHIL] I've stolen eighteen million bucks
[RITA] And I would worry less about my looks
[PHIL] And I guess I'll do it again
[RITA] And I would be a lot more zen
[PHIL] When
[RITA] And I would punch
[PHIL] I
[RITA] A lot of men
[PHIL] Had
[RITA] If I had
[RITA & PHIL] My time again
[RITA] If I had my time again
I would do it all the same
They claim, but that's ridiculous
Surely you'd want to make a couple of fixes?
All those boxes left unchecked
All the dreams you left neglected
You'd go back and put it right
I've always fancied learning how to climb
[PHIL] I once masturbated seven times
[RITA] I'd study math
[PHIL] In the bath
[RITA] And search for meaning
[PHIL] In one evening
[RITA] And I'd run up hills
[PHIL] It wasn't fun, but still
[RITA] I'd learn to paint
[PHIL] A man my age
[RITA & PHIL] Just to know
It's nice to know
I can
[PHIL] It's nice to know I can
[RITA] If I had my time again
I'd sample all the samples
Look at things from different angles
I would not do it all the same
If I had my time again
[RITA & ENSEMBLE] If I had my time again
[RITA] The things I'd handle better
I would send my unsent letters
[PHIL] I've started seven hundred fights
[RITA] If I had my time back
[PHIL] And if you knew the endless nights
That I have wasted getting wasted
Contemplating different ways to suicide
[RITA] I would write and I would write
[PHIL] And I have tried every food and every drink and every cheat
[RITA & PHIL]
And I would bring joy to other (And every choice a thousand)
people's lives (times)
(And I daily eat about a dozen donuts and I don't know why)
And I would learn piano (And I don't know... why?)
And I would make a lot of
friends
If I had my time
[RITA & COMPANY] If I had my time again
[RITA & PHIL]
I'd open all the doors I never (And I opened all the doors you)
looked behind before (never looked behind before)
And oh (And I)
The things I'd taste, the things
I'd try (I find the thing with these)
(I find the thing with these revolving rides)
And the misery I could prevent
(They're only fun 'cause you know they're going to end)
And I would make a lot of friends
If I had my time
Again
(Again, I have had it, I have had my time again)
