Lyrics

Your heart's fallen out of time

Your heart has lost synchronization with time.

Out of time with mine

It's no longer in harmony with mine.

We've fallen out of love

We've fallen out of love.

You've fallen way behind

You've fallen significantly behind.

We built it all

We constructed everything, from the foundation to the end, and now it's gone.

From roots to leaves to nothin' more

Looking somewhat like you

But I'ma just keep runnin' til I'm out of sight
