Two years gone, couldn't let you go,

Searched for something ancient, something I could know.

They called me Chrono when I found the way,

Turned the clock backward to undo that day.

But thirty years, maybe forty, I went too deep,

Past the moment I was hunting, past the hurt I couldn't keep.

Found her in the hallways, goth girl from before,

Brought her to the present, now she's walking through my door.

Too far, too far, too far back in time,

I went looking for you, but I crossed the line.

Now I'm holding someone else while I think of you,

Too far, too far - what did I do?

We're in love now, me and her, it's real, it's true,

But in the quiet moments, I still picture you.

The one I traveled for, the one I couldn't save,

Lost somewhere between then and the choice I made.

I won't keep traveling, won't risk it again,

Every jump through time just multiplies the pain.

I could lose her too, or fracture something more,

Leave another heart broken on some distant shore.

Too far, too far, too far back in time,

I went searching for redemption but I lost what's mine.

Now I live with this love and the ghost of you,

Too far, too far - forever torn in two.

I'm done chasing yesterday.

Forever yours,

Max
