1999 When Time Bent for Us

Millennium's edge, the world holds its breath I opened my eyes to someone else's death Digital clocks all frozen in fear While I fell backwards twenty-six years The movie set spins like a carousel Of memories I know too well Director's calling "action" again But this time I know how it ends Gravity bends around your voice In this timeline, I have a choice Everything's analog and new Everything leads me back to you 1999, when time bent for us Before the crash destroyed my trust When Y2K was just a fear And you appeared, you appeared In the space between what was and what could be You rewrote my history 1999, when time bent for us And we fell into something much like love Dial-up dreams and silver screens Nothing is quite what it seems In this decade's faded glow I'm learning things I didn't know The future's calling on a payphone But I let it ring, I let it ring 'Cause in this moment I'm not alone And that changes everything Gravity bends around your voice In this timeline, I have a choice Everything's analog and new Everything leads me back to you 1999, when time bent for us Before the crash destroyed my trust When Y2K was just a fear And you appeared, you appeared In the space between what was and what could be You rewrote my history 1999, when time bent for us We fell into something much like love Static on the radio Playing songs from long ago But your frequency comes through Clear and true, clear and true In this glitch between the years I can taste my future tears But I'm choosing to believe We can rewrite our history 1999, when time bent for love When the stars aligned above All the pain that's yet to come Can be undone, can be undone In the space between was and soon will be You're the key to set me free 1999, when time bent for love And you became my exodus Countdown to a new millennium But I'm staying right here with him In 1999, when time bent And all the broken things were mended Time bent, time bent For us...
