[Intro]
What have you done?! Thousands of years of building and rebuilding, creating and recreating so you can let it crumble to dust! A million years... The sensitive men dying for the dreams for what?! So you can... swim, and dance and.... play!

[Verse 1]
I understand you hate me, there's so much that I messed up
All these little choices made and this is how it ends up?
So I built this out of whiskey, and television pieces
To keep the past and future both well within our reaches
Turn the ticking of the clocks back
With some shit that I learned in shop class
It's been a while since we talked, I want that
I know that it's a lot to ask

[Chorus]
I'll just build a fucking time machine
Build a fucking time machine
Rewind to the times that you lied to me
I'll just build a fucking time machine
Build a fucking time machine
Really it's alright, it's fine with me

[Verse 2]
Weld it together with a soldering iron
When I take a trip I can feel a part of me dying
But I go back 'til there's no regrets
'til you didn't know me yet
'til only you and me were only left
I should save the trees and the Kennedy's, but they're dead just let them be
I forget the memories, and everything you ever said to me eventually
I should save Martin King Jr., let freedom's bells ring sooner
I won't let her go, I cling to her
Forget who you think you were
[Pre-Chorus]
Forget where I am, can't get there again
Our life was better before, whatever it was, wherever we were, I guess I'll never be sure

[Chorus]
I'll just build a fucking time machine
Build a fucking time machine
You guys will see, cause my eyes rewind the scenes
The times that you lied to me
I'll just build a fucking time machine

[Verse 3]
To preserve, to disturb, or to not say a word
Have we met?
Do you hate me yet?
To preserve, to disturb, or to not say a word
Look at me again, the way you looked at me back then

[Bridge]
I should save the whales and the dinosaurs
And we'll all have tails on our spinal cords
I should save the 80s from the styles we wore
Start saving up to sell our saviors in the aisles of every store

[Chorus]
I'll just build a fucking time machine
Build a fucking time machine
Rewind to the times that you lied to me
I'll just build a fucking time machine
Build a fucking time machine
Well it's alright, it's fine with me
I'll just build a fucking time machine
Build a fucking time machine
You guys'll see it's alright, go, it's fine with me
I'll just build a fucking time machine
Build a fucking time machine
Rewind to the times that you lied to me
[Verse 4]
To preserve, to disturb, or to not say a word
Kiss me like it's our wedding
Hold me like it's our ending
To preserve, to disturb, or to not say a word
I guess we'll never know, we'll see how forever goes

[Outro]
Bolts and screws, let it all undo, there's no going back to you
Let it all unravel, and dance in the strings, until I can't feel a thing
Bolts and screws, let it all undo, there's no going back, we're through
Let it all unravel, and dance in the strings, until I can't feel a thing
Bolts and screws, let it all undo, there's no going back to you
Let it all unravel, and dance in the strings, until I can't feel a thing
