Time Machine

[Verse 1]
I'm gonna build a time machine
Just so I can hold your hand at Shake Shack
Screw the butterfly effect
I know you're hurting, I'm about to change that

And if that makes the world blow up
Even better, it's only us
It's only us

[Chorus]
There's an alternate reality
Where I've gone and fixed everything
And no one's ever dared to break your heart
There's an alternate reality
Where you had no one, you have mе
And neither time nor spacе keep us apart
And I don't know how to get there
But a time machine feels like the place to start

[Verse 2]
I'm getting kind of good at this
I think cosmic justice kind of suits me
Rewriting all your memories
'Cause you know that whatever hurts you hurt me

[Chorus]
There's an alternate reality
Where I've gone and fixed everything
And no one's ever dared to break your heart
There's an alternate reality
Where you had no one, you have me
And neither time nor space keep us apart
And I don't know how to get there
But a time machine feels like the place to start

[Bridge]
I build the thing
I travel back
She doesn't lie
Your bones don't crack
I hold you tight
My fingers slip
I turn to dust
I lose my grip
'Cause that's the thing
If you don't break
We never meet
My hands don't shake
One butterfly can change so much
I didn't think before I launched

[Chorus]
In an alternate reality
You don't even remember me
And she's the one you're holding in the dark
You've got a dog and wedding rings
'Cause I've gone and fixed everything
Don't look so happy, it just makes it hard
Oh, I don't know how I got here
But I know it's time to leave things as they are
