[Verse 1]
There's a hurricane and it's on the way
Been sitting around this house for days
I'm in here waiting on the flood
Been hanging out and holding on
To every word in our favorite song
These headphones are thicker than blood
[Chorus]
If I could hitch a ride on a time machine
I would bring you right back here with me
And I wouldn't have to watch you disappear
Even though I said all of the things that mattered most
While I held on tight to the end of the rope
I could keep you close but I couldn't keep you here
A lot can happen in a year
[Verse 2]
Givin' in, not givin' up
Maybe I didn't care enough
I wish I could let you know somehow
[Chorus]
If I could hitch a ride on a time machine
I would bring you right back here with me
And I wouldn't have to watch you disappear
Even though I said all of the things that mattered most
While I held on tight to the end of the rope
I could keep you close but I couldn't keep you here
A lot can happen in a year
A lot can happen in a year
A lot can happen in a year
[Verse 3]
Keep looking out, not looking down
You won't find the answers on the ground
Where will we be twelve months from now
[Chorus]
If I could hitch a ride on a time machine
I would bring you right back here with me
And I wouldn't have to watch you disappear
Even though I said all of the things that mattered most
While I held on tight to the end of the rope
I could keep you close but I couldn't keep you here
A lot can happen in a year
