prompt What would you do with a time machine?

I had Saturday errands to run but this prompt just stuck in my head.

Full Disclosure: The drums are from a purchased Sample Pack.

Synths: Babylon

Guitars: '73 Fender Stratocaster

Amp: '78 Marshall Mk II

Constructive criticism is always welcome. Tell me all about it so I can get better at this!

Lyrics

My Time Machine

What would it be like if you could step into a time machine?
Just imagine.

Ch
I can go r-e-a-l s-l-o-w
Or crazy fast
Predict the future
Relive the past
Lovin' the ride
No matter how long it lasts
In My Time Machine
Time Machine
Time Machine
Havin' a blast.

Vs
I could see what I missed
Things that passed me by
That sweetest kiss
That made me cry
The games that I lost
And those that I won
Payin' the cost
For havin' too much fun

[Ch]

I could fall in love
All over again
Or see what happened
To a long lost friend
Connect the beginnings
To the ends
But I can't change the past
To make amends.

[Ch]

This is a super response to the skirmish prompt! The lyrics make it easy to visualize you zipping around in your time machine - in fact, this would make a great video. Love that driving rock vibe!

I like the angle of endless possibilities and the high energy level to match. Some things in the lyrics and expression remind me of the Tubes. Nice one!
