There's a hurricane, and it's on the way
Been sitting around this house for days
I'm in here waitin' on the flood
Been hanging out and holding on
To every word in our favorite song
These headphones are thicker than blood

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 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

Giving in, not giving up
Maybe I didn't care enough
I wish I could let you know somehow

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 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

Keep looking up, not looking down
You won't find the answers in the ground
Where will we be 12 months from now

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 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
