Time Machine
Goodnight Wembley Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In my young days
Was discovering
Now I've stumbled onto something too

If I could go back
Find a way to
Wouldn't have to reminisce

When you look back when
When we lost our way
It was all a breeze
We were young and free

Get on the time machine and let's fly home
Get on the time machine and hold on

When you look back when
When we lost our way
We were lost at sea
We were dumb and free

Get on the time machine and let's fly home
Get on the time machine and hold on
Get on the time machine and let's fly home
Get on the time machine and hold on

It's gonna go down

Get on the time machine and go
Get on the time machine and let's fly home
Get on the time machine and hold on
Get on the time machine and let's fly home
Get on the time machine and hold on

It's gonna go down
Yeah

In my young days
Back when I was younger

Was discovering
I was exploring and finding new things

Now I've stumbled onto something too
But now I've found something else, too

If I could go back
If only I could turn back time

Find a way to
And figure out a way

Wouldn't have to reminisce
I wouldn't have to think about my memories so much

When you look back when
When you think about the past

When we lost our way
When we were confused and didn't know what to do

It was all a breeze
Everything was easy and carefree

We were young and free
Back when we were young and without responsibilities

Get on the time machine and let's fly home
Let's time travel and go back to our past
