Time Machine (Lyrics LarryP)

(Verse 1) There's a shadow on the wall where we used to talk, Words that slipped away like sand through the hands of a clock. I see the cracks in time, like lines on your face, Every moment lost, it's a memory I can't erase. (Chorus) I need a time machine, baby, to stop the ticking of the clock, Undo the knots of the past, and hold the hands that forgot. But you can't go forward looking back, In an endless circle of standing still, it's a trap. (Verse 2) We walked a fragile line, between the now and the then, Tried to turn back the tide, but it washed away again. I hear your voice in echoes down the halls of regret, A melody of moments that I never can forget. (Chorus) I need a time machine, baby, to stop the ticking of the clock, Undo the knots of the past, and hold the hands that forgot. But you can't go forward looking back, In an endless circle of standing still, it's a trap. (Bridge) If I could just rewind, rewind the film, To a time when love was whole, when it burned to the brim. But the past is a mirror, reflecting what we lost, And the price we pay is the cost of every tear we tossed. (Outro) So here I stand in the present, with your shadow by my side, Trying to forge a future, where our dreams still collide. I need a time machine, baby, but the moment's all I've got, Learning to cherish now and love the time we've got.
