I see your face in a photograph
Faded lines from a year gone past
My hand still reaches for the door
But you are not here anymore
I keep digging through the same old ground
Trying to turn the silence around
But every echo sounds the same
Calling out a forgotten name
If I had a time machine
I would not go back to change a thing
I would stand right where we fell apart
And learn to say goodbye to my own heart
Time machine takes me through the night
But I am the one who has to let this light die
The city lights are cold and slow
Every street is a place I used to know
I park the car where we used to meet
Counting the hours on a broken seat
I keep folding the same old note
Words that I never wrote
The engine hums a lonely tune
Beneath a ghost of a half moon
If I had a time machine
I would not go back to change a thing
I would stand right where we fell apart
And learn to say goodbye to my own heart
Time machine takes me through the night
But I am the one who has to let this light die
I held the door for you that night
You walked away without a fight
I wore the blame like a second skin
Now I am learning to let it begin
If I had a time machine
I would not go back to change a thing
I would stand right where we fell apart
And learn to say goodbye to my own heart
Time machine takes me through the night
But I am the one who has to let this light die
Let this light die
Let this light die
I am the one who has to let this light die
