You always get the last word
You fly like a mockingbird
Every time I get you cornered, you slip through my fingers, you do

When I'm trying to outrun you
You won't leave me alone
When I need you to be with me
I end up on my own
Oh, I wish that I could move you
Faster, be still or rewind
But it's a matter of time

My heart is a rubber band
Strung out between your hands
You gave me love but I wasn't ready then,
And you took it back now that I am

When I'm trying to outrun you
You won't leave me alone
When I need you to be with me
I end up on my own
Oh, I wish that I could move you
Faster, be still or rewind
But it's a matter of time

My love, why can't we go back there?
My fate, are we beyond repair?
A year; it's not so far away
Too late, can we start over again?
If he could see, what he could be with me
Me now, that I feel differently
I've come, he'll see I've come around

When I'm trying to outrun you
You won't leave me alone
When I need you to be with me
I end up on my own
Oh, I wish that I could move you
Faster, be still or rewind
But it's a matter of time
