Time Machine

I can’t help but have these thoughts

Picturing life’s inevitable stuff

Like losing the ones I love

Or all of my dreams never quite living up

Tryna keep the future away

So I’m driving windows down 88

But I keep getting lost in LA, in the fast lane

I wanna build a Time Machine

So everyone can stay with me

Keep my parents here together

We won’t have to say remember

I wanna build a Time Machine

I want more than a memory

I just wanna pull a lever

Go back to when we had forever

Oh im aging like fine wine

But I noticed wrinkles around moms eyes

And dad says to cancel my flight

He’s not getting any good at goodbyes

Tryna keep the future away

So I’m driving windows down 88

But I keep getting lost in LA, in the fast lane

I wanna build a Time Machine

So everyone can stay with me

Keep my parents here together

We won’t have to say remember

I wanna build a Time Machine

I want more than a memory

I just wanna pull a lever

Go back to when we had forever

I wanna go back

I wanna go back

I wanna go back

I wanna go back

Oh I wanna go back

I wanna go back

I wanna go back

I wanna go back

I wanna build a Time Machine

So everyone can stay with me

Keep my parents here together

We won’t have to say remember

I wanna build a Time Machine

I want more than a memory

I just wanna pull a lever

Go back to when we had forever

My older sister, I only see her, 3 times a year

She’s in New York City, so fuckin far from here

My baby brother, he isn’t such a, baby anymore

He’s gonna be a doctor, delivering more

My twin sister, we used to be, attached at the hip

She’s got her own life now and we’ve been distant

My Nani’s playing bingo at a senior living home

I don’t know what Pop will do, when he has to live alone
