[Verse 1]

Sorry, baby, I just don't know the words

Or how to conjugate them

Was it really past tense I heard?

Or was it present perfect?

Maybe we could forget the time

You faced that friend without me

Maybe we could go back to mine

Pretend it never happened

[Chorus]

Oh, when you're always out of time

When you say it will be fine

When I just can't find the line

Oh, hope I know what to say

When you throw it all away

[Verse 2]

Sorry, baby, I've been drifting again

Could you repeat the question?

No, I guess I do not know when

It first became a problem

Sorry that it's all such a mess

The words, they seem to leave me

Didn't really quite catch the rest

Not keen on it repeating

[Chorus]

Oh, when you're always out of time

When you say it will be fine

When I just can't find the line

Oh, hope I know what to say

When you throw it all away

When you throw it all away

[Bridge]

Sorry, baby, I just don't know the words

Was it really past tense I heard?

Maybe we can forget the time

Maybe we can go back to mine

[Outro]

Well, I think that I've been drifting

Without you, drifting

I think that I've been drifting

Without you, drifting

I think that I've been drifting

Without you, drifting

I think that I've been drifting

Without you, drifting

And now I know that you've been gone
