Time Machine
Yearning Echoes: Reliving Love in Alyssa Darby's 'Time Machine'
Lyrics
I keep catching myself holding my breath
I find myself frequently holding my breath.
Hurting my neck looking back to the past
I strain my neck by constantly looking back at the past.
Lying here there's an ache deep inside
While lying down, I feel a deep internal ache.
From the broken heart in my chest
This pain originates from the broken heart in my chest.

You know the kind where it rewinds

I'd just spend more time with you

I wanna go back to the moment

Before you said we're done
