about

Inspired by the John Green novel," The Fault in Our Stars", "Timebomb" is a moving, heart-felt song about the perils of falling in love. It features Hannah Epperson on violin and Michelle Faerhmann on cello.

lyrics

I have lived in a daydream,
Always surrounded by people like me.
Finding the perks of being almost gone,
But I can only stay here for so long.

Everyday it feels the same,
Until I saw you sitting there and you asked for my name.
I knew you would comprehend,
We’ve lived the beginning and we’ve seen the end.

So you will ask a question,
And I’ll give you an answer,
We’ll try to understand, we’ll try to understand,
And I’ll give you a reason why we can’t be more than friends,
Try to understand,
I’m a time bomb ticking down to the end.

They say it only works if the timing’s right,
But it seems impossible to get the stars to align.
We wish for the same things on them every night,
So you’re gonna’ take me away and find out what the future
could be…

You will ask a question
And I’ll give you an answer,
We’ll try to understand, we’ll try to understand,
And I’ll dismiss the reason why we can’t be more than friends,
Try to understand,
I’m a time bomb ticking down to the end.

I want to see how it feels to be here, before I go,
But there’s so much you have got to let know…Oh.

Say it quick and tell me how,
It’s spreading all through you now,
It was always supposed to be me,
So I’ll stay by your bedside as your bright blue eyes are fading
to white.

You still ask a question,
And I give you an answer,
I’ve learned to understand, but I’ll never understand.
The days were numbered 1, 2, 3,
But more than friends was infinity
I’ll have to understand,
You’re a time bomb ticking down to the end.
