If history goes round
Maybe the conditions will come back again where
I will fit just fine
Won't feel like I belong to another era

Has it ever crossed your mind
that some of us were right, but born at the wrong time?
Can someone press rewind
Take me to a day that is still worth my while?

It's like I was born in the seventeenth century
Anachronistic hearts cannot succeed
Nor can my praying help not a full rosary
We resonate with different frequencies

This is not what I had bargained for
You want your week of fun I need so much more
Don't you knock your hand on that proverbial door
Cause you're not the one for me
I'd rather set you free

If the future should be bright
Maybe some traditions will come back into fashion
I will fit just fine
And feel like I've been standing on the right side of time

I tried to change my mind
and tune in on the wavelengths of these modern times,
I can't afford the price
It feels so self-destructive, like living a lie

It's like I was born in the seventeenth century
Anachronistic hearts cannot succeed
Nor can my praying help not a full rosary
We resonate with different frequencies

This is not what I had bargained for
You want your week of fun I need so much more
Don't you knock your hand on that proverbial door
Cause you're not the one for me
I'd rather set you free 

Can't you see
we're just not meant to be
I'll always feel
in the right place, but
at the wrong time and
Timing is just
Everything
Everything

It's like I was born in the seventeenth century
Anachronistic hearts cannot succeed
Nor can my praying help not a full rosary
We resonate with different frequencies

This is not what I had bargained for
You want your week of fun I need so much more
Don't you knock your hand on that proverbial door
Cause you're not the one for me
I'd rather set you free

You're not the one for me
I'd rather set you free
