[Verse 1]
Stuck in the past
Like drawing rings around Saturn
A shadow was cast
But now it follows a pattern
[Chorus]
I don't know what that arrangement was
I could never tell
But you could
I had hopes, but the hopes all fell
Leveled with the smell
Of new wood
[Verse 2]
Stuck in the past
A planet only on paper
Guess I'm the last
A living memory, a vapor
[Chorus]
I don't know what that arrangement was
I could never tell
Like you could
I had hopes, but that's just because
Hoping was a well
Where you stood
[Bridge]
I had all this time while Houston dozed
Where I almost had a line composed
But the moment passed, the hatches closed
[Verse 3]
Stuck in the past
Where I'll be pulling that lever
It happens so fast
And then it happens forever
[Chorus]
I don't know what that arrangement was
I could never tell
I don't know what that arrangement was
I could never tell
I don't know what that arrangement was
I could never tell
Like you could
[Outro]
Stuck in the past
Just drawing rings around Saturn

For me, the feeling of (this) song is like, “I should have done something,” and that regret is just so killer. You have hundreds of moments in your life where you’re like, “Why didn’t I say something?” Then the moment’s over and it’s too late.
