Wayback (Acoustic) Lyrics

In the middle of the night I woke with an idea for a song

It was catchy, it was clever, not to short and not too long

I didn't write it down, thought I'd remember in the morning

There's no way that this could leave my mind

Oh

I wish that I could turn back time and make up for my yesterdays

Call up Mr. Peabody and jump in the Wayback Machine

I once met a girl who treated me with care

She was brilliant, she was beautiful, and had such wonderful hair

But now she's just a dream I let her fade into my memory

I never should have let her get away

Oh

I wish that I could turn back time and make up for my yesterdays

Call up Mr. Peabody and jump in the Wayback Machine

I was hired by the government to work on an atomic bomb

I was so focused on the task I didn't question right from wrong

Little did I know that they would use the bomb against me

That's some way to pay me for my work

Oh

I wish that I could turn back time and make up for my yesterdays

Call up Mr. Peabody and jump in the Wayback Machine

I met up with Saint Peter on the road to Heaven's Gate

I asked for my admittance but he said I asked too late

Now I'm in the furnace in that fiery lake of sulfur

The ghost of Hitler downing by my side

Oh

I wish that I could turn back time and make up for my yesterdays

Call up Mr. Peabody and jump in the Wayback Machine
