lyrics

i stepped into your time machine
i was afraid but i did it because you invited me
and it's not that i don't long to see you: i always do
it's just that i think time travel is impossible

but i made it to the past ok, or so i thought
tired, and grouchy, and cranky, but i was ok, or so i thought
and your wedding was so beautify
i'm so glad i pulled myself together for that

and i'm so glad i stepped into your time machine
dearest friends, i'm so grateful you invited me, but ya know
i thought it was teleportation that ripped you into a thousand million pieces, but your time machine must work like that too
because my body was strewn across the whole space-time continuum, yet somehow i still feel sewn together and

i made it to the past ok, but it was strange
to be so far and so long alone with the person i dated so long ago
and does everyone here still think we're together? oh no, please say that you don't
and could you maybe just dance a little further away, it's not your fault, honey, i just need a little space
it's this time travel busines; makes me feel a little sick
guess i'll have another drink

but i don't think i'd step into another time machine
it's not your fault, i think it's something to do with me
becauuse when that song came on to remind me of my most recent loss
that's when i knew time travel is impossible

sitting on the balcony at my friends' wedding
the workers call up to me and they say
wouldn't it be nice if there were a pool down there and i laugh
cause i know i'd never jump, even if there were a pool

crying on the balcony at my friends' wedding
clean up in the bathroom, but i'm not done crying
and emily came looking for me so i tried to disapear by holding my breath
guess it's time to get out of here
hope no one noticed how long i've been gone

no, i don't think i'd step into another time machine,
not of you paid me, no, not even if you invited me
and it's not that i don't long to see you; i always do
it's just that i know time travel is impossible
sure feels good to be home <3
