Time Machines

(album: Portals - 2018)

They found a world where they seemingly have no problems
All equally heartbreaking

We snuck out after midnight
Just to walk in the silence
And I learned how to fall for you, yeah
Smoke greens in the starlight
And you kissed me like magic
Didn't start till the sky went blue

And we were too young still to know it, yeah
That the love that we had was as good as it gets
And is it magic
Turned into static
Before it vanished in our hands
I know it's long gone but it's never too late
'Cause we can relive every moment we made
If we imagine
We can go back when we were 17

'Cause memories are time machines, yeah
Memories are time machines, woo-ooh

Moonlight in a sundress
And you felt like a flower
When you took me into your world
Your hair when you undressed
Had me lost in your powers
And your skin made my whole life swirl

And we were too young still to know it, yeah
That the love that we had was as good as it gets
And is it magic
Turned into static
Before it vanished in our hands
I know it's long gone but it's never too late
'Cause we can relive every moment we made
If we imagine
We can go back when we were 17

'Cause memories are time machines, yeah
Memories are time machines, woo

And I know it's just a fantasy
Another galaxy
Where you're still mine in a lover's dimension
And I go despite the tragedy
I'm broken happily
Even though it's hard for my heart to mention

And we were too young still to know it, yeah
That the love that we had was as good as it gets
And is it magic
Turned into static
Before it vanished in our hands
I know it's long gone but it's never too late
'Cause we can relive every moment we made
If we imagine
We can go back when we were 17

'Cause memories are time machines, yeah
Memories are time machines, woo

I know you're not mine
I know you're not mine, no

They found a world where they seemingly have no problems
All equally heartbreaking
(All equally heartbreaking)
(All equally)
We can go back
(Equally)
Go back
