[Verse: Derek Discanio]
So many plans we made were washed away
So many memories faded away
Honestly, I didn't know it was ending
We count the calendar, checking off the days
We look ahead, they laugh at the plans we made
Honestly, I didn't know it was ending
[PreChorus: Derek Discanio]
We don't know what the future holds
[Chorus: Derek Discanio]
I wish I had a time machine
So you would never have to leave
And I wouldn't have to say sorry
But now we're running on a picture-perfect memory
Of all the things I couldn't say
And I'll never have to say sorry that I couldn't save you
[Verse: Derek Discanio]
Under the lights we sang all our favorite songs
We thought the days went dry, somehow we were wrong
Honestly, I hope I never remember
[PreChorus: Derek Discanio]
We don't know what the future holds
[Chorus: Derek Discanio]
I wish I had a time machine
So you would never have to leave
And I wouldn't have to say sorry
But now we're running on a picture-perfect memory
Of all the things I couldn't say
And I'll never have to say sorry that I couldn't save you
[Bridge: Mark Hoppus and Derek Discanio]
This life is taking forever
Under the lights we sang all our favorite songs
I never want to remember
Later in the dark with the shades pulled down
I wait for the part where you bleed me out again
I never want to remember (again, again, again)
Later in the dark with the shades pulled down
I wait for the part where you bleed me out again
I never want to remember (again, again, again)
[Chorus: Derek Discanio]
I wish I had a time machine
So you would never have to leave
And I wouldn't have to say sorry
But now we're running on a picture-perfect memory
Of all the things I couldn't say
And I'll never have to say sorry that I couldn't save you
Time Machine was written by Tony Diaz & Ryan Scott Graham & Tyler Szalkowski & Mark Hoppus & John Feldmann & Evan Ambrosio & Derek DiScanio.
Time Machine was produced by Kyle Black & Mark Hoppus & John Feldmann.
State Champs released Time Machine on Fri Jun 15 2018.
Derek stated in an interview posted on The Modern Record
We had no idea he was even coming in. Then the next day, me and Mark Hoppus are just sitting out by John Feldmann’s pool writing lyrics from scratch. And that ultimately ended up being ‘Dead And Gone,’ which is the first single on the record.
On the Reddit AMA hosted shortly after the release of Living Proof, user ahsandchill asked the band what inspired “Time Machine.”
We wrote the song shortly after the Las Vegas shootings. It was a scary moment for the music community and we were in the midst of working on the record. It felt like th...
