Lost Out On Time

[Verse 1]
I still see you
In that Sunday dress
Nervous hands
Our first kiss on your front steps
You laughed through it
Said, "We got all our lives"
Guess I believed
We had oceans of time
[Chorus]
Now I'm lost out on time
Heart broke in the slowest way
Waited too long for those vows
Now you got another name
Should've said "stay"
Should've called you mine
Now I'm stuck in this same old town
Just lost out on time
[Verse 2]
Your old sweatshirt
Still hangs on my chair
Coffee gets cold
While I talk to the empty air
I count the chances
I let slip by
Every "someday"
Turned to goodbye
[Chorus]
Now I'm lost out on time
Heart broke in the slowest way
Waited too long for those vows
Now you got another name
Should've said "stay"
Should've called you mine
Now I'm stuck in this same old town
Just lost out on time
[Bridge]
You moved forward
Like the world was meant to
I'm here learning
How to live past "me and you"
If I meet someone
Hope I don't hit rewind
On every kiss
Back to you in my mind
[Chorus]
Still I'm lost out on time
Heart broke in the slowest way
Waited too long for those vows
Now you got another name
I whisper "stay"
To the dark each night
While the clock keeps stealing what was ours
I'm lost out on time
