"Out Of Routine"

Words by Roddy Woomble. Music by Idlewild

Out of routine, the explanations you have
You're still loathe to give them
All because you've phrased it in a way
So the explanations you have
The words don't go away 

If your heart gets in the way of what you wanted 
To deny everything I say is not uncommon 
The only thing that's definitely forgotten
Is what you wanted 
And what you really needed 

But I can only try to know what I wanted
I will only try to know what I want
If I can only try to know what I wanted
How can it be gone 

Out of routine but it's not as bad as you think
It's only chance you're looking for
Still in routine and the explanations you have
The ideas go between 

If your heart gets in the way of what you wanted 
If you reply to everything I say so it's not uncommon
The only thing that's definitely forgotten
Is what you wanted 
And what you really needed 

But I can only try to know what I wanted
I will only try to know what I want
If I can only try to know what I wanted
How can it be gone 

And it's already gone and nothing can take it back
It's already gone and nothing can take it from being gone
