There's a hurricane, and it's on the way
I've been sitting in this house for days
I'm in here waitin' on the flood
I've been hanging out and holding on
To every word of 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
So where will we be 12 months from now

And 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
