lyrics

i stared at these creations made by a man with a passion like mine
the desired to get from point A to B in the least amount of time
and I was inspired. inspired to create the time machine

I want to be the first man to truly stop the clocks
and the importance of every watch and calendar my machine could lock
and I breathe, without wasting seconds. we'll be there faster than minutes
we won't have hours, days or even weeks by which we feel restricted

Just moments, I can love the way you make me feel alive
like that chill in my neck is my soul half dead and seeing you helps it survive
and I know this is where I want to go

I'm so tired of charts and hands
and all these man made faces that must be flawed if they're holding me away from you
I don't know what I have to do

I inhaled the medicines I found inside these blankets
in your bedroom watching hair cells falling lazily through sunbeams
and I recognized I was inhaling you

I read in a book that life is calculated measurements
and all the little things we do are letters in the alphabet
and if you exempt 2 or 3 then all my letters A-Z
are moments I spend thinking of you

I'm so tired of charts and hands
and all these man made faces that must be flawed if they're holding me away from you
I don't know what I have to do to make sure I'm always with you
I don't know what I have to do
