[Intro]

Get on my bike and I'ma fly through time

Until I'm with you

I promise


[Verse 1]

I'm scared

I guess I shouldn't be

But I'm a boy

In this adult body

I know I said

That we would grow old together

But I haven't

And that's cost you years


[Pre-Chorus]

This is has been the one of my fears

That's has only ever caused you tears


[Chorus]

So time machine, take me ahead till I'm with her

Gotta be with her, with her, with her

Can't let her live by herself

Oh time machine, maybe we can take her with us

Long as I'm with her, with her, with her

She ain't living by herself

Lift off and go


[Verse 2]

I tried

With all my might, I peddled as fast as I could

Until the years just started to flicker past

Our life, oh all of it

I saw memories on both sides of the road

I pointed them out as I went along

Right there, we're making out listening to Purple Rain in the basement

And just ahead I can see your heart falling but I can't save it


[Pre-Chorus]

This is has been the one of my fears

That's has only ever caused you tears


[Chorus]

So time machine, take me ahead till I'm with her

Gotta be with her, with her, with her

Can't let her live by herself

Oh time machine, maybe we can take her with us

Long as I'm with her, with her, with her

She ain't living by herself


[Bridge]

I'm on my way there

To that time in space

I wish you could see, all that I see now

I'm headed towards you, yeah

I wish that time could wait

I'm on my way home


[Pre-Chorus]

This is has been the one of my fears

That's has only ever caused you tears


[Chorus]

So time machine, take me ahead till I'm with her

Gotta be with her, with her, with her

Can't let her live by herself

Oh time machine, maybe we can take her with us

Long as I'm with her, with her, with her

She ain't living by herself

Lift off and go

Lift off and go
