02:11
In the meantime, we let it go 02:15
At the roadside we used to know 02:17
We can let this drift away 02:19

At the bay side, we used to show 02:23
In the moonlight, we let it go 02:26
We can let this drift away 02:28
Oh, we let this drift away 02:31
And there's always time to change your mind 02:33
Oh, there's always time to change your mind 02:35
Oh, love, can you hear me? 02:37
Oh, let it drift away 02:40
I'm sorry for everything, oh, everything I've done 02:43
From the second that I was born, it seems I had a loaded gun 02:46

At the bay side, we used to show 03:09
In the moonlight, we let it go 03:11
We can let this drift away 03:13
Oh, we let this drift away (let me make it up to you) 03:16
And there's always time to change your mind 03:18
Oh, there's always time to change your mind 03:21
Oh, love, can you hear me? 03:23

[English]

I'm sorry for everything, oh, everything I've done

Am I out of touch? Am I out of my place?
When I keep saying that I'm looking for an empty space
Oh, I'm wishin' you're here but I'm wishin' you're gone
I can't have you, and I'm only gonna do you wrong
Oh, I'm gonna mess this up
Oh, this is just my luck
Over and over and over again
I'm sorry for everything, oh, everything I've done
From the second that I was born, it seems I had a loaded gun
And then I shot, shot, shot a hole through everything I loved
Oh, I shot, shot, shot a hole through every single thing that I loved

Am I out of luck? Am I waiting to break?
When I keep saying that I'm looking for a way to escape
Oh, I'm wishing I had what I'd taken for granted
I can't have you when I'm only gonna do you wrong
Oh, I'm gonna mess this up
Oh, this is just my luck
Over and over and over again
I'm sorry for everything, oh, everything I've done
From the second that I was born, it seems I had a loaded gun
And then I shot, shot, shot a hole through everything I loved
Oh, I shot, shot, shot a hole through every single thing that I loved

In the meantime, we let it go
At the roadside we used to know
We can let this drift away
Oh, we let this drift away
At the bay side, we used to show
In the moonlight, we let it go
We can let this drift away
Oh, we let this drift away
And there's always time to change your mind
Oh, there's always time to change your mind
Oh, love, can you hear me?
Oh, let it drift away
I'm sorry for everything, oh, everything I've done
From the second that I was born, it seems I had a loaded gun
And then I shot, shot, shot a hole through everything I loved
Oh, I shot, shot, shot a hole through every single thing that I loved
In the meantime, we let it go
At the roadside we used to know
We can let this drift away
Oh, we let this drift away
At the bay side, we used to show
In the moonlight, we let it go
We can let this drift away
Oh, we let this drift away (let me make it up to you)
And there's always time to change your mind
Oh, there's always time to change your mind
Oh, love, can you hear me?
Oh, let it drift away
