Time Machine
Navigating Lost Time: A Heartfelt Reflection on Unfulfilled Promises
Lyrics
So many plans we made were washed away
Reflecting on plans that were disrupted or lost.
So many memories faded away
Recalling memories that have faded away.
Honestly, I didn’t know it was ending
Expressing surprise or lack of awareness about a relationship ending.
We count the calendar checking off the days
Marking time and anticipating an event or change.
We look ahead, they laugh at the plans we made
Others mocking the plans made for the future.
Honestly, I didn’t know it was ending
Reiteration of surprise or lack of awareness about the end.
We don’t know what the future holds
Uncertainty about what the future holds.
I wish I had a Time Machine
Desire for the ability to go back in time.
So you would never have to leave
Wishing to prevent someone from leaving.
And I wouldn’t have to say sorry
Avoiding the need to apologize through time travel.
But now we’re running on a picture perfect memory
Reliance on preserved memories instead of real-time experiences.
Of all the things I couldn’t say
Regret over unspoken words or unexpressed feelings.
And I’ll never have to say sorry
Acknowledging an absence of apologies in preserved memories.
That I couldn’t save you
Feeling helpless or guilty about not being able to save someone.
Under the lights we sang all our favorite songs
Recalling joyful moments of singing favorite songs under lights.
We thought the days went dry
Realization that perception of time was inaccurate.
Somehow we were wrong
Admitting a lack of desire to remember certain experiences.
Honestly, I hope I never remember
Expressing a wish to forget specific memories.
We don’t know what the future holds
Reiteration of uncertainty about the future.
I wish I had a Time Machine
Repeating the desire for a Time Machine.
So you would never have to leave
Reiteration of the wish to prevent someone from leaving.
And I wouldn’t have to say sorry
Avoiding the need to apologize through time travel.
But now we’re running on a picture perfect memory
Continued reliance on preserved memories.
Of all the things I couldn’t say
Regret over unspoken words or unexpressed feelings.
And I’ll never have to say sorry
Acknowledging an absence of apologies in preserved memories.
That I couldn’t save you
Feeling helpless or guilty about not being able to save someone.
This life is taking forever
Expressing impatience or dissatisfaction with life.
I never wanna remember
Rejecting the idea of remembering certain experiences.
Later in the dark with the shades pulled down
Waiting for a painful or emotional moment.
I wait for the part where you bleed me out again
Anticipating a moment of emotional vulnerability.
I wish I had a Time Machine
Repeating the desire for a Time Machine.
So you would never have to leave
Reiteration of the wish to prevent someone from leaving.
And I wouldn’t have to say sorry
Avoiding the need to apologize through time travel.
But now we’re running on a picture perfect memory
Continued reliance on preserved memories.
Of all the things I couldn’t say
Regret over unspoken words or unexpressed feelings.
And I’ll never have to say sorry
Acknowledging an absence of apologies in preserved memories.
That I couldn’t save you
Feeling helpless or guilty about not being able to save someone.
