[Verse 1] I wore my coat through the afternoon, watched the weather moving through. Everybody had somewhere to go. I had reasons not to. You called twice, then left my street. I heard your footsteps underneath. Something in the way they faded made me finally reach. [Pre-Chorus] I caught you at the corner. You turned before I spoke. I had no good explanation. You said, “We can take it slow.” [Chorus] I’m coming back into the room, a little out of time. Leave a little space for me. I’ll be there in a while. I’ve been away inside my head, missing half my life. I’m coming back into the room. Keep a place for me tonight. [Post-Chorus] A little out of time. A little out of time. Keep a place for me tonight. [Instrumental] [Verse 2] I missed a birthday, missed a train, let the weeks all dress the same. People stopped expecting answers. I forgot that I could change. Now your friends are asking questions. I can’t find the words that fit. You let me finish every sentence, even when I leave a bit. [Pre-Chorus] There’s a song I almost recognize. There’s a window open wide. For a moment, I stop checking how I look from the outside. [Chorus] I’m coming back into the room, a little out of time. Leave a little space for me. I’ll be there in a while. I’ve been away inside my head, missing half my life. I’m coming back into the room. Keep a place for me tonight. [Instrumental - evolving synth motif] [Bridge - intimate, stripped back] I thought I had to feel alright before I let you see me. I thought I had to know the words before I started singing. But you were halfway through a story. I laughed before I knew. For once, I wasn’t somewhere else. I was there with you. [Final Chorus] I’m coming back into the room, a little out of time. There’s a little space for me. I don’t have to get it right. I’ve been away inside my head. Now I’m here for half a smile. I’m coming back into the room. I think I’ll stay a little while. [Outro] A little out of time. I think I’ll stay a little while.
