Chisongwriter - Time Machine Lyrics

If I had a time machine I'd first go in your past

I'd start with your dad, and all those missed birthdays you had
That left you sad, but he didn't notice, he just kept on moving like a nomad
He even promised you a pony, not knowing that princesses are impressionable
He didn't know he was suppose to make you eat your vegetables
Yes he is a dad, but a father or a man, both are questionable

And what about those exes, the ones you wish you never messed with
Like the one who was sexy, but you didn't know he had another girl pregnant
Or the one who gave you hope, handed you a rope
But in the end it was a noose that left you to choke

If I had a time machine, we'd travel to the future

I wouldn't have to tell you I'm different
I wouldn't say I'm not the guys you've been with
My actions would yell in our house on the hill
It wouldn't be a tattoo, but a diamond ring to say it's real

And look at our daughter, she recently turned 8
She had 7 Christmas's and 8 birthdays, and there was a present for every date
Of course, we will go through downs, but those better the ups
And when people ask where is the love, the answer will be us

But right now, there's no time machine

So presently you care for me, but you're scared of me
Because of a father who wasn't there since three
Or even the guy who didn't treat you as rare as me
I can't change the past, but I can mold your future
I can say I'm honest, but your trust must be featured
I'll just stay away, but be here to make you smile
Because a house has no style if it's not built with the right tiles
