connected to a time machine

Set the crosshairs back on one,

you said we'd only die here in a sun.

I only wish that it was mine.

Verse 3:

So set the crosshairs back on one,

I nail the loop that brings the second run,

past the wished on charms
D A G D
and through the lens back to your living arms.

This time machine won't power down.

And still the crosshairs rest on one,
D A G D
and still you rest there in the morning sun.
D A G D
Still I fumble through pages of constructions on the ride.
Verse 5:
D A G D
I like the blown out sound we've found,
D A G D
I like the way it feels here coming down.

The way your headstone shines,

I only wish that it was mine.
