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.
