I stayed a second longer than I probably should
You turned but not all the way
And I misunderstood
There was something in that pause
Like a door that almost closed
I could've stepped forward
But I waited instead
Ooh,
we were left in the timing Just a word out of place
Ooh,
we were close to deciding But we let it escape
Now it's all in the
margin Not enough, not too late
We were left in the timing And we couldn't quite stay
Your sleeve brushed mine And I didn't pull back
You looked like a question
I failed to uncut
I've said something
But I swallowed it whole
Ooh,
we were left in the timing
Just a word out of place
Ooh, we were close to deciding
But we let it escape
Now it's all in the margin
Not enough,
not too late We were left in the timing
And we couldn't quite stay
I walk through that moment
Like it's frozen in place
Still guessing the meaning Of your half-turned face
Ooh,
we were left in the timing Just a word out of place
Ooh,
we were close to deciding But we let it escape
Now it's all in the
margin Not enough, not too late
We were left in the timing And we couldn't quite stay
