Time Machine
Marcus Alexander Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where would you go if you could travel back in time
And could I come or would I be left behind
What would you do if you could see your other side
I'd stay away cause those worlds should not collide

What would you change if you could journey to the past
Open your sails or be the one to finish last
What would you give to keep the memories alive
I'd take a picture but my camera phone has died

Take my hand and follow me
There's still too much we need to see
So take this hand and run away with me
We'll run away in my time machine
We'll run away in my time machine

What I would do if I could travel back in time
I'd take my heart out, and sell it for a rhyme
What you would see if you could meet my other side
Would still be me, cause I don't have a thing to hide

Take my hand and follow me
There's still too much we need to see
So take this hand and run away with me
We'll run away in my time machine
We'll run away in my time machine

But I can't change our past, the choices we have made
With you I wish, and I wish I would have stayed
But a dreamer is what I was born to be
With or without you

I'll run away in my time machine




I'll run away in my time machine
We'll run away in my time machine
