Time Traveler Lover...

[Verse 1] Saw you on the subway Hair up Same blue coat You laughed like you already knew Every secret I wrote You said "We don't have long here" Pressed your hand into mine Then the doors cut the moment in half Like a scene out of time [Chorus] You keep falling out of nowhere Into my ordinary days Leaving little future postcards In the corners of my brain Every touch is gone by sunrise But you feel like something known You’re my time traveler lover Who won’t ever stay long [Verse 2] Met you at a crosswalk Ten whole years from that train You were humming the same soft tune Calling me by my name You traced a date on my palm Whispered "Please don’t be late" Then you kissed me like we were old news And slipped back through the gate [Chorus] You keep falling out of nowhere Into my ordinary days Leaving little future postcards In the corners of my brain Every touch is gone by sunrise But you feel like something known You’re my time traveler lover Who won’t ever stay long [Bridge] Do we get a life together In a year I haven’t seen? Am I someone that you’re saving Or a ghost in between? If I wait at every corner Will it rewrite what went wrong? Or are we only ever meant For these flashes Then you’re gone? (gone) [Chorus] You keep falling out of nowhere Into my ordinary days Leaving little future postcards In the corners of my brain I’ll hold on to every second Like a photograph I’ve drawn You’re my time traveler lover Who keeps coming back Keeps coming back Keeps coming back Tomorrow then gone
