In context, the "i gave up trying to go back a long time ago" is about the timelines, because it's in the context of the timelines. Sans is talking about timelines resetting left and right, and then says that. It would make sense too; if previous timelines happened, wouldn't you be curious of a way to get back, or to stop the resets? I have a feeling that Sans somehow went back in time to explain to his former self the entire ordeal, before the resets has happened, and thus he knows of the resets from the start of the timeline branches. That, or he's probably referring to his broken machine that everybody is assuming is a teleporter, that is destined to never work (again).
