Time Machine
Revisiting Regrets: A Time Machine Tale
Lyrics
I built a time machine for you
I constructed a device to travel through time for your sake
So I could fix all my mistakes
To rectify all the errors I've made
Maybe get some more tattoos
Possibly to acquire additional tattoos
I'd never cut my hair and try some more cocaine
I wouldn't cut my hair and would experiment with cocaine
Every day I've had this dream
Every day, I've envisioned this scenario
I could go back to 17
I wish to return to the age of 17
With my time machine
Referring to the time machine
With my time machine
Reiteration of the time machine
I would tell you anything
I would honestly disclose everything to you
So it doesn't have to end
So that our relationship doesn't have to conclude
I'm going back to senior prom
I plan to revisit my senior prom
And getting drunk with my old friends
And indulge in alcohol with my past companions
Every day I've had this dream
Similar to line 5, reiterating the recurring dream
I could go back to 17
Reiteration of the desire to return to age 17
With my time machine
Repeating the reference to the time machine
If I could even make one
If I could make even one (dream) come true
I'd just fuck it up again
I would likely ruin it again
With my time machine
Repetition of the reference to the time machine
With my time machine
Again, emphasizing the time machine
I could write the songs with a billion streams
I could compose songs that garner a billion streams
And I'd bet it all on Tom's new team
I would gamble everything on Tom's new team
I promise you I'd change your name
I commit to changing your name in this alternate reality
In this alternate reality
Reference to an alternative reality created by the time machine
With my time machine
Repetition of the time machine concept
With my time machine
Once again, mentioning the time machine
With my time machine
Continuing the repetition of the time machine
With my time machine
Reiterating the desire for a time machine
