Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Shake it up is all that we know

Using the bodies up as we go

I'm waking up to fantasy

The shades all around aren't the colors we used to see

[Verse 2]

Broken ice still melts in the sun

And times that are broken can often be one again

We're soul alone and soul really matters to me

Take a look around

[Verse 3]

You're out of touch

I'm out of time

But I'm out of my head when you're not around

You're out of touch

I'm out of time

But I'm out of my head when you're not around

[Verse 4]

Reaching out for something to hold

Looking for a love where the climate is cold

Manic moves and drowsy dreams

Or living in the middle, between the two extremes

[Verse 5]

Smoking guns, hot to the touch

Would cool down if we didn't use them so much, yeah

We're soul alone and soul really matters to me

Too much

[Verse 6]

You're out of touch

I'm out of time

But I'm out of my head when you're not around

You're out of touch

I'm out of time

But I'm out of my head when you're not around

[Verse 7]

Out of touch

[Verse 8]

You're out of touch

I'm out of time

But I'm out of my head when you're not around

You're out of touch

I'm out of time

But I'm out of my head when you're not around

[Verse 9]

You're out of touch

I'm out of time

But I'm out of my head when you're not around

You're out of touch

I'm out of time

But I'm out of my head when you're not around

[Verse 10]

You're out of touch

Reach out for something to hold

But I'm out of my head when you're not around

You're out of touch

I'm out of time

Not around

[Verse 11]

You're out of touch

I'm out of time

But I'm out of my head when you're not around

You're out of touch

Yeah, I'm out of time

But I'm out of my head when you're not around

[Verse 12]

You're out of touch

I'm out of time
