If I were a time traveller |
|
I'd climb inside my travelling ship |
|
And take a trip to find myself |
|
A week ago |
|
And if myself could see me |
|
And hear what now-me had to say |
|
I wonder how I'd phrase it all |
|
To make me understand |
|
Because last week me |
|
Was a blissful bumbling idiot |
|
Bang-crash-landing through my days |
|
With nothing special on my mind |
|
Yeah, last week me |
|
Was that carefree caring safe guy |
|
I was happy as a little mayfly |
|
Wasn't noticing the time |
|
Slipping by, by, by |
|
Slipping by, by, by |
|
And if I were a time traveller |
|
I'd tell myself to spend some time with you |
|
To stroke your hair and smell you for remembrance |
|
While I still could |
|
But then I'd have to tell me |
|
The horror of the days to come |
|
That happy me just living in the moment |
|
And lying in the sun |
|
And last week me |
|
Was cocooned from doom-dread-brooding |
|
Bang-crash-landing through my days |
|
Assuming everything's fine |
|
Yeah, last week me |
|
Was that carefree caring safe guy |
|
I was happy as a little mayfly |
|
Swooping skyward in the sunshine |
|
Oh, last week me |
|
Didn't have a code to live by |
|
Thought you'd always be by my side |
|
Wasn't noticing the time |
|
Slipping by, by, by |
|
Slipping by, by, by |
|
Slipping by, by, by |
|
If I were a time traveller |
|
I'd write myself a cryptic song |
|
And play it on the radio |
|
One morning |
|
And in that song I'd tell me |
|
To hold you tight and never let you go |
|
To grab my gun and climb up on my rooftop |
|
And fire out a warning |
|
And last week me |
|
Might have stopped washing the dishes |
|
Might have covered you in kisses |
|
Before I'd wiped my hands dry |
|
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin |
|
Yeah, last week me |
|
Might have said, Come sit beside me |
|
Might have emptied out the diary |
|
Sunny day, let's go outside |
|
Oh, but last week me |
|
Was a blissful bumbling idiot |
|
Bang-crash-landing through my days |
|
With life's detritus on my mind |
|
Yeah, last week me |
|
Didn't know your hours were counted |
|
Took your warm fresh face for granted |
|
Didn't stop to say goodbye |
|
Say good-bye, bye, bye |
|
Say good-bye, bye, bye |
|
Say good-bye, bye, bye |
|
Say good-bye |
