Out of Routine

Idlewild · The Remote Part [2002]

Out of routine

And the explanations you have

You're still loath to give them

All because you've phrased it in a way

So the explanations you have

The words don't go away



If your heart gets in the way of what you wanted

To deny everything I say is not uncommon

The only thing that's definitely forgotten

Is what you wanted

And what you really needed



But I can only try to know what I wanted

I will only try to know what I want

If I can only try to know what I wanted

How can it be gone?



Out of routine

But it's not as bad as you think

It's only chance you're looking for

Still in routine

And the explanations you have

The ideas go between



If your heart gets in the way of what you wanted

If you reply to everything I say so it's not uncommon

The only thing that's definitely forgotten

Is what you wanted

And what you really needed



But I can only try to know what I wanted

I will only try to know what I want

If I can only try to know what I wanted

How can it be gone?



And it's already gone

And nothing can take it back

It's already gone

And nothing can take it from being gone
