[Intro]

What have you done?! Thousands of years of building and rebuilding, creating and recreating so you can let it crumble to dust! A million years... The sensitive men dying for the dreams for what?! So you can... swim, and dance and.... play!

[Verse 1]

I understand you hate me, there's so much that I messed up

All these little choices made and this is how it ends up?

So I built this out of whiskey, and television pieces

To keep the past and future both well within our reaches

Turn the ticking of the clocks back

With some shit that I learned in shop class

It's been a while since we talked, I want that

I know that it's a lot to ask

[Chorus]

I'll just build a fucking time machine

Build a fucking time machine

Rewind to the times that you lied to me

I'll just build a fucking time machine

Build a fucking time machine

Really it's alright, it's fine with me

[Verse 2]

Weld it together with a soldering iron

When I take a trip I can feel a part of me dying

But I go back 'til there's no regrets

'til you didn't know me yet

'til only you and me were only left

I should save the trees and the Kennedy's, but they're dead just let them be

I forget the memories, and everything you ever said to me eventually

I should save Martin King Jr., let freedom's bells ring sooner

I won't let her go, I cling to her

Forget who you think you were

[Pre-Chorus]

Forget where I am, can't get there again

Our life was better before, whatever it was, wherever we were, I guess I'll never be sure

[Chorus]

I'll just build a fucking time machine

Build a fucking time machine

You guys will see, cause my eyes rewind the scenes

The times that you lied to me

I'll just build a fucking time machine

[Verse 3]

To preserve, to disturb, or to not say a word

Have we met?

Do you hate me yet?

To preserve, to disturb, or to not say a word

Look at me again, the way you looked at me back then

[Bridge]

I should save the whales and the dinosaurs

And we'll all have tails on our spinal cords

I should save the 80s from the styles we wore

Start saving up to sell our saviors in the aisles of every store

[Chorus]

I'll just build a fucking time machine

Build a fucking time machine

Rewind to the times that you lied to me

I'll just build a fucking time machine

Build a fucking time machine

Well it's alright, it's fine with me

I'll just build a fucking time machine

Build a fucking time machine

You guys'll see it's alright, go, it's fine with me

I'll just build a fucking time machine

Build a fucking time machine

Rewind to the times that you lied to me

[Verse 4]

To preserve, to disturb, or to not say a word

Kiss me like it's our wedding

Hold me like it's our ending

To preserve, to disturb, or to not say a word

I guess we'll never know, we'll see how forever goes

[Outro]

Bolts and screws, let it all undo, there's no going back to you

Let it all unravel, and dance in the strings, until I can't feel a thing

Bolts and screws, let it all undo, there's no going back, we're through

Let it all unravel, and dance in the strings, until I can't feel a thing

Bolts and screws, let it all undo, there's no going back to you

Let it all unravel, and dance in the strings, until I can't feel a thing
