time machine Lyrics by Carter Rubin

2022

[Verse 1]
Seasons change
Time flies
But I’m right where we left off
Can’t get over the fact that it’s been more than four months
Dropped you off at your train cause’ we both knew that it was time to go
We said meaningless goodbye
Then you fled home
Little do you know

[Pre-Chorus]
I had it all written out for you
I didn’t want no secret to defend
So I wrote it all down for you
I told you I loved you but I never written
The next day you wake up to find that friend of yours
Ain’t just a friend no more
Maybe wе’re better off as fantasy living in my hеad
But

[Chorus]
If I could go back in time then I would (yeah)
I would have made it work somehow
The only face I see in the crowd is yours and know that
Even though you got someone in your town
I can’t let go of you now
Cause’ we both know damn well you’re the only girl
I write my songs about
Where’s a time machine when you need one
I’d go stop myself from giving up on us

[Verse 2]
Now I'm telling my friends that I don't even miss you
But I'm kidding myself, no one does it like you do
Sun is setting
But we're speeding while time is standing still
My eyes were locked on all of you
Like a scene out of some perfect picture film

[Pre-Chorus]
I had it all written out for you
I didn’t want no secret to defend
So I wrote it all down for you
I told you I loved you but I never written
The next day you wake up to find that friend of yours
Ain’t just a friend no more
I guess this is what they mean when they say it's the beginning of the end

[Chorus]
If I could go back in time then I would (yeah)
I would have made it work somehow
The only face I see in the crowd is yours and know that
Even though you got someone in your town
I can’t let go of you now
Cause’ we both know damn well you’re the only girl
I write my songs about
Where’s a time machine when you need one
I’d go stop myself from giving up on us

[Bridge]
Maybe you never this way at all
Maybe I'm just a guy for you to call
If the one you love ever plays with your heart
But I swear if I had a time machine
I'd go back and rewrite that whole scene
And maybe we wouldn't be a million miles apart
No

[Chorus]
If I could go back in time then I would (yeah)
I would have made it work somehow (made it work somehow)
The only face I see in the crowd is yours and know that (only face is yours and you know that)
Even though you got someone in your town (Oh-Oh)
I can’t let go of you now
Cause’ we both know damn well you’re the only girl (Cause we both know damm well)
I write my songs about (I write my songs about)
Where’s a time machine when you need one (a time machine, a time machine, I)
I’d go stop myself from giving up on us

[Outro]
Where’s a time machine when you need one
I’d go stop myself from giving up on us
