Orange Time Machines Care Songtext
von A Lot Like Birds

Il était une fois
When learning how to crawl became
A substitute for walking
Biting my tongue a fair exchange
For talking to myself
Knocking pictures off the shelf
Swallowing the frames
Spilling wine to comment on the stain

I need a mind erase option
Less air to the brain
If God was alive
He would′ve amended us
But then again
No one has it as bad as
I have or ever will
To the extent that if I have to finish this
I might have to leave everything else
Undone, and it's all numb anyway


I can see our life before my eyes
And it looks real, sunrise
An easy thing to steal, I′ll drive
I'm best behind the wheel, besides
I get confused
I'll need you
To navigate the complicated courts and lanes that crowd this place
I swear to God the street signs change when my eyes close
They′re not the same
They′re not the same

I get lost easily
I get lost easily
Help guide me home, please!
Help guide me home, please!

I always take the fall!
Why are you always getting sick?
The complications won't solve itself!
I always take the fall!
Why are you always getting sick?
The complications won′t solve itself!

We used to sing our song
And what it meant to us, and it's gone
And every emotion, that all went along with it′s gone
I shared it all with you
You said you'd love me too
So love me too


Are you crawling away
Or is it time to go through?
Were we always this way
Or was I too fucked up to know?
Are you crawling away
Or is it time to go through?
Were we always this way
Or was I too fucked up to know?

I sang your favorite song
You told me it was too long
I asked you what was wrong
The list goes on and on
