Three Six Five – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

There's a hurricane and it's on the way

Been sittin' around this house for days

I'm in here waitin' on the flood

Been hangin' out and holdin' on

To every word in our favorite song

These headphones are thicker than blood

If I could hitch a ride on a time machine

I would bring you right back here with me

And I wouldn't have to watch you disappear

Even though I said all the things that mattered most

While I held on tight to the end of the rope

I could keep you close, but I couldn't keep you here

A lot can happen in a year

...

Givin' in, not givin' up

Maybe I didn't care enough

I wish I could let you know, somehow

If I could hitch a ride on a time machine

I would bring you right back here with me

And I wouldn't have to watch you disappear

Even though I said all the things that mattered most

While I held on tight to the end of the rope

I could keep you close, but I couldn't keep you here

A lot can happen in a year

A lot can happen in a year

A lot can happen in a year

Keep lookin' out, not lookin' down

You won't find the answers in the ground

Where will we be 12 months from now?

If I could hitch a ride on a time machine

I would bring you right back here with me

And I wouldn't have to watch you disappear

Even though I said all the things that mattered most

While I held on tight to the end of the rope

I could keep you close, but I couldn't keep you here

A lot can happen in a year

...
