Darren Hayes - How to Build a Time Machine
If I have understood correctly,
Velocity equals the distance travelled,
Divided by time.
I've read every word ever printed
On quantum physics,
And now it is time to try.
I read your book, I found your notes.
I dusted this thing off and turned on the key.
The rumbling motors, the buzzing- Incredible gadgets,
the hissing electricity.
And now, the moment has come.
I'm travelling back in time.
They're running down the hall-
(I've started the countdown.)
They want me to stop-
(But I don't think so.)
I'm ready to go-
(Let's get the job done.)
Beyond the paradoxical,
All the lights are dazzling.
Past the planes and trains, and satellite navigation.
Past the time I spent today,
Through the nearest wormhole.
In a stunning ball of white,
The light explodes and lands on you.
And you're five-
Always running away
When I was dying to kiss you,
And I-
I don't want to cry.
I don't want to see
Where the moving van takes you,
So I travel on.
Beyond the stars-
At one hundred and eighty-six thousand miles per second,
I can fly-
Forward a few years,
To nineteen hundred and seventy-nine-
I caught a glimpse of the sky.
And they're coming down the road-
(They're coming to get me.)
I never should have come-
(I hide the time machine.)
I'm running down the hall-
(I think I'm in my old house.)
Past the place where I grew up-
Number nine Lake Road.
Past the swimming pool,
And Mable park,
And past Troy Clifford's house.
To the Argonaut-
To the fish and chip shop.
Out the back and down the road-
And to the place I got beat up.
Hey, put that rock down!
Can't you see he's half your size?
Hey, he looks familiar-
Oh my God, it's me, aged nine.
Put your shoes on,
And run away from here.
I can't get involved-
This is all so weird.
I'm meeting myself-
This is all so clear.
All the things I lost,
All the people I hurt.
All the times I lied,
All the moments wasted.
All I never did,
All the dreams I had.
All the things I would change-
I can change them.
All the things I lost,
All the people I hurt.
All the times I lied,
All the moments wasted.
I'm gonna make right what I did wrong
And change how the future has gone-
Through appliance of science.
I'll take a hold of my enemies,
Take their obscenities-
Kiss them, and leave them like lovers who've gone.
I'll call my dad-
I'll tell him I miss him,
And tell my reflection, "It's not your fault."
And now, the moment has come-
I'm traveling back in time.
They're running down the hall-
(I've started the countdown.)
They want me to stop-
(But I don't think so.)
I'm ready to go-
(Let's get the job done.)
Put your shoes on, and
Run away from here-
I can't get involved,
This is all so weird. [Oh my God, it's me, aged nine...]
Let's get the job done.
All the things I lost,
All the people I hurt.
All the times I lied,
All the moments wasted.
All I never did,
All the dreams I had.
All the things I would change-
I can change them.
Beyond the paradoxical,
All the lights are dazzling.
Past the planes and trains, and satellite navigation.
Past the time I spent today,
Through the nearest wormhole.
In a stunning ball of white,
The light explodes into another moment.
