Time Traveler Lover Lyrics

I own a box, within which time stops

I now carry a heart which can break time and space apart

I've caused a paradox, and now the world erupts

I now carry a heart which can break time and space apart

If I can't visualize my lover

Must I travel through the years?

If I can already remember

What hasn't happened in the past years

If my body belongs in the future

Must I return to tomorrow's Earth?

She said we belonged to time

More than we belonged to our bodies

It crashes into us and possesses us

What do we say?

When we must not escape our own lifetime

Regardless of how far we travel

Through endless light, endless dust

I strongly feel love for this world

In spite of all of your faults

I strongly care for this planet

In spite of those who've damned it

Traveling to a past

Or a future era

Learning to tell the difference

Between shadow and penumbra

And the difference between - our body and our shadow

Between our home and its suburbs

Guided by all the love that lurks

Maybe the only way to survive the collapse

Is to go way, way back into the past

Time-traveler lover, time-traveler lover

Time-traveler lover, time-traveler lover

I own a box, within which time stops

I now carry a heart which can break time and space apart

I've caused a paradox, and now the world erupts

I now carry a heart which can break time and space apart

Despite being in the same vessel, the same ship

Nothing could make me handle a relationship

I found it would defragment my spirit, my soul

So I escaped through this vortex, this black hole

She said, remember - past the blackness

Towards the core - there are all kinds of colors

What do we say?

When we've reduced ourselves to a heartbeat

In a time traveling capsule in orbit

How can we ever be free?

When we can't ever avoid - the future crashing into us

Until there's none of it left

Traveling to a past

Or a future era

Learning to tell the difference

Between shadow and penumbra

And the difference between - our body and our shadow

Between our home and its suburbs

Guided by all the love that lurks

Maybe the only way to survive the collapse

Is to go way, way back into the past

I've never been in love

But my heart aches all the same

Time-traveler lover, time-traveler lover
