Reggae Time Machine

[Intro] Slow glow Night sky breathing Old tape hiss My heart believing [Verse 1] Seat back Clouds in the window glass Old songs in a language I can barely grasp Reggae pulse In my chest like a second hand Every kick Every snap Pulls me through the sand [Pre-Chorus] I taste the future On the edge of my tongue Memories younger Than I ever was [Chorus] We ride the reggae time machine Through all the days we should’ve seen Cosmic rays on dusty wings You and me in everything We drift We dip We rise We fall Across the clocks We hear your call Reggae time machine Don’t let go Carry our echoes through the glow (oh-oh) [Verse 2] City fades Into colors I’ve never known Old me waving From a payphone Melodic lines Curl around every broken year Every offbeat step Brings you closer here [Pre-Chorus] Your voice is a comet Spelling out my name It burns It bends Then it starts again [Chorus] We ride the reggae time machine Through all the days we should’ve seen Cosmic rays on dusty wings You and me in everything We drift We dip We rise We fall Across the clocks We hear your call Reggae time machine Don’t let go Carry our echoes through the glow (yeah, yeah) [Bridge] [Drums and bass peel away Synth swell building] Slow it down Let the years float by Every scar turns soft In the rearview sky Drop it all Let the weight unspool When the silence hits We come back new (hey!) [Chorus] We ride the reggae time machine Through all the days we should’ve seen Cosmic rays on dusty wings You and me in everything We drift We dip We rise We fall Across the clocks We hear your call Reggae time machine Don’t let go Carry our echoes through the glow [Outro] Fading frames On a golden reel One last riddim One last heal (ooh)
