Intro

Tick, tick, we moving through dimensions we don't see Same clock, different seconds, depends on who you be Remember when the summer stretched like taffy in your hands? Now December hits in April, grown folks don't understand

Verse 1

Age seven on the staircase, Christmas morning took a year Counting down the seconds, every minute crystal clear Recess felt like movies, lunch break stretched to afternoon Now I blink and miss a month, September turns to June Scientists say it's proportional, each year gets thinner quick At ten years old one year's a tenth, at forty just a flick My daughter ask me why I'm rushing, I tell her I ain't feel it She's living hour by hour, I'm just trying not to steal it

Pre-chorus

We all bending time but we ain't got the cheat codes Same planet, different speeds, everybody on they own road

Chorus

Everyday time travel, we skip and we rewind Fast forward through the living, pause the moments left behind No DeLorean, no flux, just the human mind Everyday time travel, what year you living in tonight?

Verse 2

Ever felt that glitch, this happened here before Same conversation, same position on the floor Brain misfiring memory, future touching past For half a second you existed in two timelines stacked Then there's flow state, when hours turn to seconds flat Locked in on the session, sun set then it came right back Athletes call it zone, artists call it channeling Time dissolves around you, you become the happening

Pre-chorus

We all bending time but we ain't got the cheat codes Same planet, different speeds, everybody on they own road

Chorus

Bridge

Catch a scent from '97, suddenly I'm ten again Grandma's kitchen, bacon grease, I feel her hold my hand Grief's a portal, loss keeps pulling you back through You never really left that room, you just pretend you do

Verse 3

Close your eyes at midnight, open them at dawn Eight hours just evaporated, where did they all go? Dreams compress a lifetime into sixty minute shows You lived a decade in your sleep, then woke up feeling old And here's the fifth dimension, when you waiting on results Doctor's office, interview, the verdict from the court Those five minutes stretch to centuries, stomach full of knots Time is relative, Einstein said, we living what he taught

Pre-chorus

We all bending time but we ain't got the cheat codes Same planet, different speeds, everybody on they own road

Chorus

Bridge 2

They want us looking forward, but we built from looking back Every scar's a timestamp, every memory's a map Present moment's just a doorway between where we was and going Stand still long enough, you feel the timelines overlapping [Chorus] x2 Everyday time travel, we skip and we rewind Fast forward through the living, pause the moments left behind No DeLorean, no flux, just the human mind Everyday time travel, what year you living in tonight?

Outro

Tick, tick, the clock don't care about your plans But you control the lens you're watching through, understand? Every child inside you got a different clock installed Everyday time travel... we just forgot that we're involved
