Outta Time
Natalia Kills Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I know you'd like to save me
But we're out of time.
I tried to write you a letter baby
But I'm out of lines.
You thought you could make me better,
And I hoped it'd turn out right,
You know I'd sell my soul to change it
But we're out of time.

We've been driving down this road since I was 17
You could tear my heart like pages in a magazine,
But now your photograph is faded,
And my bed is cold at night,
And I wish that love could save us
But we're out of time.

So don't regret me baby
When you lay awake tonight...
You knew that I could hurt you
But you said I was worth the fight.
And I know that you're not waiting
At the end of the telephone line,
But I can't keep holding on
Cause we're out of time

If I could stop the world from turning
Maybe I could change your mind,
If you could stop my heart from burning
Then I'd take you home tonight...
But I know that you're not waiting
At the end of the telephone line,
And I wish I could take you back
But I'm out of time.

Yeah I'm out of time
Ooh I'm out of time
Yeah we're out of time




I'm out of time
We're out of time.

CHANEL POISON

this song never fails to make me cry🖤love her and her music so much!

Miss Gabi

Yup yup yup

Mario Brión Toucedo

she's got a great visual identity, and also great and cute lyrics and music. In addiction she created a beyond ok pop product, so much more cohesive and personal (and with so much less money) than moust of the pop "stars" now a days. She, Natalia, Teddy, whatever... has my respect as an artistical being 4EVAH.

I love this song. it sounds like it should belong in a movie about the 50s. where 2 people from different worlds fall in love with eachother and can't see eachother because it's against the rules.

Lisa Mapelli

I love so much this song! 💗💗💗
