OUT OF TIME
Weevil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before the forward
Raise an empty hand
I don't recall a thing
But that would be too right
Time is never quite that kind
A morning bed that's left behind
Before he drove away
You smiled at me
In that special way
But then I never held your glance
Distracted by the lights
I try too hard
For a second chance
I know, I know we are out of time
Don't want to feel like a breaking wave
I know, I know we are not tuned in
Don't want to stay with the world I've made
Now I tried to reach my final form
And to forget them all
To watch them fade
In the evening summer skies
The shapes of peoples lives
And so into the night
Above them all the stars are shining for you
I know, I know we are out of time
Don't want to feel like a breaking wave
I know, I know we are not tuned in
Don't want to stay with the world I've made
