Lyrics
[verse]
Happy in the old days, dancing in the square
Nobody counting seconds, nobody had a care
Now the clocks keep chasing us through every waking hour
Wishing we could find that old forgotten flower
[chorus]
Living in the past, holding on to yesterday
Living in the past while the world keeps rushing away
Maybe it's foolish, maybe it's a crime
But some of us are happiest a little out of time
[verse]
They tell us to keep moving, tell us to keep pace
But some of us are searching for a slower kind of place
Where the sun rose gentle and the evenings lasted long
Where every simple moment felt like its own song
[chorus]
Living in the past, holding on to yesterday
Living in the past while the world keeps rushing away
Maybe it's foolish, maybe it's a crime
But some of us are happiest a little out of time
[bridge]
Maybe the future's calling but I like it right back here
Where the music's slower and the memory is clear
Let the new world hurry, let it race ahead
I'll be right here dancing to the songs of yesterday instead
[chorus]
Living in the past, holding on to yesterday
Living in the past while the world keeps rushing away
Maybe it's foolish, maybe it's a crime
But some of us are happiest a little out of time
