[Verse 1]
The impact of it still ringing, you dance in the crater it left
All day long I can hear you singing, but you wake in the night I hear you catching your breath
Six months now, you barely slept I wonder how many others are stuck on the same map
Survivors built in the hidden depths, Survivors guilt like an empty trap
Everyday of your life is a victory lap, I'm proud to be running it with you
But when you get lost in flashbacks, I miss you
I'm picking up the slack but my hands are slipping
It was the worst betrayal, resurfacing now that your life is stable
I know you're a soldier, but where do you go when your eyes glaze over

[Chorus]
I wish I could travel through time, find that child, guard her door
I would sit on the floor outside of your room till morning
I wish I could travel through time, find that child, guard her door
I would sit on the floor outside of your room till morning

[Verse 2]
It's not the whole story it's not even the beginning it's just one thread in the tapestry
If you put it in long enough the bigger picture unravels and reveals the travesty
Still we laugh all the time, it's good for the pain
Heart's into climbing this mountain together
Now you're high enough to start enjoying the view but the shadows down below are getting closer every second
Good thing you're as tough as they make em you got it from the people you came from
Remember when you feel that you can't keep hold you're an old soul, gold and you will not fold
Some nights you wait forever, sure you can't take the pressure
When the dark feels like it'll never lift that's when the sky grows pale and the morning lives
[Chorus]
I wish I could travel through time, find that child, guard her door
I would sit on the floor outside of your room till morning
I wish I could travel through time, find that child, guard her door
I would sit on the floor outside of your room till morning

[Verse 3]
One in four is it a surprise how many people in your life have that bitter little of bit of grit stinging in their eyes, but they do grow up and they thrive
It ain't the boogieman or the stranger in the park it's the friend of the family, it's the relative you're staying with
If that's too hard to think of, too dark what about the people who were living everyday with it
When the past is a murky swamp full of shapes that you can't look at square on, keep going
I know what's on your mind when you lose your words you start shrinking through space like you don't deserve to exist
Woo's too wild to tame for what it's worth I understand shame
You kiss mine to dust I just hope I can do the same

[Chorus 2]
Maybe we can travel through time, find that child, guard that door
We can sit on the floor outside her room together
Maybe we can travel through time, find that child, guard that door
We can sit on the floor outside her room together, until morning
