Turn back the clock or go back in time?

Is it correct to say that "to go back in time" and "to turn/put the clock" have roughly the same meaning?

For instance, which of the two expressions should I use in the sentence below?

1) I wish I could turn back the clock and relive the eighties again.

or

2) I wish I could go back in time and relive the eighties again.

If both are possible, do they mean the same thing?

Thank you.
