Buying Time

Can I buy myself some time?
A minute for a nickel... two for a dime?
There are so many places
where i wish i had said what i had thought
and i wish i had thought what you had said
But this is a one way road im travelling on
although it jumps up and down more like a rollercoaster

so please.. can i buy myself a little time?
Turn back a few moments, cross that uncrossable line?
So many dreams i wish i could have made reality
and so many realities i wish i could have shaken off as dreams
but they are all there still
echoes of reality, and afterglares of reason

Would you then consent to buy me a little time?
it would be so gernerous of you, if u told me i could call it mine
to cherish the scent of the earth in the first monsoon rain
and the heat of brooding passion anguished in dark corners
each scent a harbinger of a thousand memories,
and each victory a sweet reminder of pain

It's time, perhaps, that i bought a little time
though my destination would seem mundane, the step itself is divine
smiling smiles that remained unsmiled
and shedding tears that remained unshed
buying back time that i spent
biding my time
