Time Machine

from Lost in the Woods by Lewis Mullen

/

about

Written and recorded in 2011

Don't let the SF trappings full you: it's a full-on soppy love song. No!!!

But don't worry I made sure there was imminent danger to the fabric of space-time involved too

The fabric of my vocal chords were in danger too from singing in a range way too low for comfort. Did I think I was Leonard Cohen or suhin?!

lyrics

If I had a time machine
And I could go anywhere and anywhen
I could change my life
And not get bullied when I was ten

I could go back in time
With the winning numbers for the lottery
But all of this just might mean
That you and I might never be

So I would leave things just the same
To never meet would be a shame

If I had a time machine
I would never change a thing
Even if I could I never would
Of all the things that I could do
I would still go out with you
Just because I could, I still would

If I had a time machine
I'd set it to go back to that Monday night
Just to see the way you smiled at me in the candle light

And I would leave things just the same
To never meet would be a shame

If I had a time machine
I would never change a thing
Just because I could I never would
Of all the things that I could do
I would still go out with you
Just because I could, I still would

I would leave things as they were
It's important not interfere
In matters of the heart
Not simply because if I did it could
Create a paradox which would
Rip the Universe apart

And I would leave things just the same
To never meet would be a shame

If I had a time machine
I would never change a thing
Even if I could I never would
Of all the things that I could do
I would still go out with you
Just because I could, I still would

If I had a time machine
I would never change a thing
If I had a time machine
I would never change a thing
Change a thing

I write the kind of music I'd like to listen to, and I hope you enjoy listening to it to. It's a window into a slightly different world that's a more honest mirror of our own
