lyrics

Riding your Vespa, you lean into the curves.
When I was your lover, you used to lean into my curves.
The past is a back road, it wobbles and it swerves
Now riding your Vespa, you lean into the curves.

I’ve got a time machine. I’m gonna use it.
I’ve got a time machine. I’m gonna use it.

I’m not going back to our golden year.
I’m going forwards, but I hear four words in my ear.
“I love somebody else.” / Well, I wobbled and I swerved.
But my body remembers you leaning into my curves.

I’ve got a time machine. I’m gonna use it.
My body is a time machine. I’m getting used to it.
My body is a time machine. I was once your sweetheart.
My body is a time machine and it’s taking me back to the start.

Time is a back road, it wobbles and it swerves
Now that I’m your lover, I feel you leaning into my curves.
Oh, I am your lover, and you are leaning into my curves.
