Time Travel

"Time Travel"

What a way to know
I fell too easily in love
When I spent my time with you
It's an explanation, not an excuse

After a semester without sleep
I dreamed of going back
Where you would never find me
I'd hide behind all of Berkeley

I could not turn clocks
To when I wanted it to be
I might've done it again with you
If I had time to make an excuse.

The 1950s

"The 1950s"

She had a look of the 1950s
And I made conversation for her to speak to me
She said "why hello, how do you do?"
"Doll, I'm doing real good now that I've met you"

She had that look of the 1950s
So I asked her
"Have you ever listened to Elvis Presley?"
"I fell in love one summer in Memphis, Tennessee"

And she had a smile with some familiarity
From black and white memories
Cause I've seen that smile before
In the movies...
