Straight Outta Time |
| Hot summer night, I was counting all the starlight on your skin |
| Airtight, as I watched you breathing out, I’m breathing in |
| By the lake, so humid that the moon was getting wet |
| For our sake the crickets started playing their castonets |
| Like a gypsy, you stole me from a child into a man |
| It never hit me: I’ve been running ever since I took a stand |
| And this love like Spanish moss hangin from the trees |
| Just swaying in the breeze like a sweet memory |
| Running straight outta time, straight outta time |
| Running straight outta time, straight outta time |
| Since you were mine |
| That autumn chill sent a shiver, girl, it shook us to the bone |
| And we still had February frozen on the phone |
| Spring thaw, would it find us with our lips frozen blue? |
| Love calls, but do we really live the time we’re running through? |
| Or like a dream, do we let it die and drift away to sleep |
| Until it screams like an echo in the history books you keep |
| 'Cause that stream running from the corners of my mind |
| Looking back I find like a river it unwinds |
| Running straight outta time, straight outta time |
| Running straight outta time, straight outta time |
| Running straight outta time just like an old man’s fiddle |
| Looking for the dance; |
| gonna meet me in the middle |
| I’m never gonna figure out the way that I feel — |
| Running straight outta time |
| But my love’s still real |
| Now I see you- you’re looking pretty in your summer dress |
| I can almost feel you as you clutch your little locket to your breast |
| Looking down at the picture, girl, you know you’re looking fine |
| Is it me? |
| Was I ever in your heart or on your mind? |
| Cause I’m running outta time |
| I’m running straight outta time |
| Were you ever mine? |
