[Verse 1]
Coulda been you, coulda known you better, oh, oh, oh
Heard you cut your hair but the hurt is deeper
You should know by now I'm a bad pretender for you
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Nobody's perfect, always deserved those brighter days you made
What if I work it? Would it be worth it?
Would it change a thing? Secrets whispering
[Chorus]
Time moves slow, I'm on the outside
Time won't help, I'm on the outside
Words get old, I need a minute just to get by
Time moves slow, I'm on the outside
[Verse 2]
Day becomes the night and the night gets longer, longing for you
Only yesterday we were gold in Summer, wanna use them out but we can't recover the hue
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Nobody's perfect, even I miss those brighter days in vain
What if it's working? What if we're worth it?
Would it change a thing? Secrets whispering
[Chorus]
Time moves slow, I'm on the outside
Time won't help, I'm on the outside
Words get old, I need a minute just to get by
Time moves slow, I'm on the outside
[Bridge]
(Carry on)
And I look for you in the corridors of Babylon
(Carry on)
To every streetlight of this civilization
(Carry on)
And I wonder, holy wonder
Are we chasing each other like a compass?
Feels like I've been here before
[Chorus]
Time moves slow, I'm on the outside
Time won't help, I'm on the outside
Words get old, I need a minute just to get by
Time moves slow, I'm on the outside
