[Verse 1] Everyone is moving At a rhythm I don't know Faces pass beside me But I'm always moving slow The traffic lights are changing Everybody knows the way I keep missing every signal Trying not to fall away [Pre-Chorus] I tried to match the tempo I tried to hold my breath But every time I follow I lose myself again [Chorus] My heartbeat is out of time Out of time, out of time I can't make it synchronize With this world tonight If I'm running too fast If I'm falling behind I won't change this pulse inside This heartbeat is mine Out of time But I'm still alive [Verse 2] I learned to hide the difference Underneath a quiet smile Counting every second Just to make it through the night But somewhere in the silence I could hear it beating back A rhythm I had buried Calling me to come alive [Pre-Chorus 2] Maybe being different Was never something wrong Maybe this uneven rhythm Was inside me all along [Chorus] My heartbeat is out of time Out of time, out of time I can't make it synchronize With this world tonight If I'm running too fast If I'm falling behind I won't change this pulse inside This heartbeat is mine Out of time But I'm still alive [Rapid-Fire Spoken Word] I tried to slow down I tried to speed up I tried to become What everybody wanted me to be I watched the numbers I watched the clocks I watched every single person moving like they knew where to go And I kept asking myself Why can't I just be normal? Why can't I just fit? But maybe I was never broken Maybe I was only listening to a different rhythm [Quiet Break] Can you hear it? Under all the noise A little out of time Still beating [Build] One beat Two beats Keep it going Even if I don't belong One beat Two beats I'm still moving This is my This is my pulse [Final Chorus] My heartbeat is out of time Out of time, out of time I don't need to synchronize With this world tonight If I'm running too fast If I'm falling behind I won't change this pulse inside This heartbeat is mine My heartbeat is out of time Let it break the perfect line If the world won't move with me I'll keep moving in my time Out of time Out of line Out of step Still alive [Outro] I don't need to fit I don't need to match I can hear my heartbeat And that's enough
