[00:07.61]If I have understood correctly,
[00:11.26]Velocity equals the distance travelled,
[00:15.08]Divided by time.
[00:17.11]I’ve read every word ever printed
[00:20.04]On quantum physics,
[00:22.07]And now it is time to try.
[00:25.08]I read your book, I found your notes.
[00:29.09]I dusted this thing off and turned on the key.
[00:33.17]The rumbling motors, the buzzing- Incredible gadgets,
[00:38.11]the hissing electricity.
[00:41.81]And now, the moment has come.
[00:46.54]I’m travelling back in time.
[00:49.74]
[00:51.11]They’re running down the hall-
[00:53.20](I’ve started the countdown.)
[00:55.05]They want me to stop-
[00:57.08](But I don’t think so.)
[00:59.05]I’m ready to go-
[01:02.56](Let’s get the job done.)
[01:04.06]
[01:04.71]Beyond the paradoxical,
[01:06.73]All the lights are dazzling.
[01:08.71]Past the planes and trains, and satellite navigation.
[01:12.79]Past the time I spent today,
[01:14.69]Through the nearest wormhole.
[01:16.75]In a stunning ball of white,
[01:18.50]The light explodes and lands on you.
[01:21.16]
[01:21.72]And you’re five-
[01:23.82]Always running away
[01:25.60]When I was dying to kiss you,
[01:28.12]And I-
[01:29.06]I don’t want to cry.
[01:31.09]I don’t want to see
[01:32.63]Where the moving van takes you,
[01:35.04]So I travel on.
[01:37.03]Beyond the stars-
[01:39.00]At one hundred and eighty-six thousand miles per second,
[01:43.70]I can fly-
[01:45.25]Forward a few years,
[01:47.07]To nineteen hundred and seventy-nine-
[01:50.44]I caught a glimpse of the sky.
[01:53.57]
[01:55.00]And they’re coming down the road-
[01:57.10](They’re coming to get me.)
[01:59.03]I never should have come-
[02:01.09](I hide the time machine.)
[02:03.17]I’m running down the hall-
[02:05.05](I think I’m in my old house.)
[02:07.73]
[02:08.83]Past the place where I grew up-
[02:10.73]Number nine Lake Road.
[02:12.73]Past the swimming pool,
[02:14.01]And Mable park,
[02:15.04]And past Troy Clifford’s house.
[02:16.74]To the Argonaut-
[02:18.74]To the fish and chip shop.
[02:20.73]Out the back and down the road-
[02:22.59]And to the place I got beat up.
[02:24.71]
[02:32.92]Hey, put that rock down!
[02:36.59]Can’t you see he’s half your size?
[02:40.74]Hey, he looks familiar-
[02:44.65]Oh my God, it’s me, aged nine.
[02:48.78]Put your shoes on,
[02:50.68]And run away from here.
[02:52.59]I can’t get involved-
[02:54.59]This is all so weird.
[03:00.55]I’m meeting myself-
[03:02.65]This is all so clear.
[03:08.96]
[03:26.38]All the things I lost,
[03:28.91]All the people I hurt.
[03:31.47]All the times I lied,
[03:34.18]All the moments wasted.
[03:37.09]All I never did,
[03:39.50]All the dreams I had.
[03:42.21]All the things I would change-
[03:44.59]I can change them.
[03:47.09]
[03:47.65]All the things I lost,
[03:50.15]All the people I hurt.
[03:52.81]All the times I lied,
[03:55.53]All the moments wasted.
[04:01.53]
[04:10.29]I’m gonna make right what I did wrong
[04:13.33]And change how the future has gone-
[04:16.26]Through appliance of science.
[04:18.70]I’ll take a hold of my enemies,
[04:21.88]Take their obscenities-
[04:23.86]Kiss them, and leave them like lovers who’ve gone.
[04:27.67]I’ll call my dad-
[04:29.67]I’ll tell him I miss him,
[04:31.79]And tell my reflection, It’s not your fault.
[04:36.48]And now, the moment has come-
[04:41.24]I’m traveling back in time.
[04:44.42]
[04:45.83]They’re running down the hall-
[04:48.08](I’ve started the countdown.)
[04:49.80]They want me to stop-
[04:51.83](But I don’t think so.)
[04:53.80]I’m ready to go-
[04:57.24](Let’s get the job done.)
[04:58.89]
[04:59.33]Put your shoes on, and
[05:01.36]Run away from here-
[05:03.27]I can’t get involved,
[05:05.24]This is all so weird.
[oh my God, it’s me, aged nine...]
[05:13.30]Let’s get the job done.
