Late again

Verse 1

I’m late again but I’m right on time

Running circles round the county line

Shoes untied but I still don’t trip

I bite my tongue but I don’t bite lip

Pre-Chorus

They say “wait your turn, stay in your lane”

I paint the curb with a different name

Chorus

Read between the red lights, I don’t stop

Heart beat tick-tock, never drop

If I fall, I bounce back twice

Rolling loaded dice with my own advice

Verse 2

Head full of noise, mouth full of rhyme

Borrowed some luck, paid back time

Cold hands warm when the crowd sings loud

Lost my shadow in the blackout crowd

Pre-Chorus

They talk straight lines, black and white

I write in curves just to feel alive

Chorus

Read between the red lights, I don’t stop

Heart beat tick-tock, never drop

If I fall, I bounce back twice

Rolling loaded dice with my own advice

Bridge

Green means go but I already ran

Yellow’s just a warning label, man

I’m not reckless, I just read ahead

Every sign looks better when you bend

Break

Stop signs talking but I talk back

Flip the script, leave a thumbtack track

Final Chorus

Read between the red lights, I don’t stop

Clock keeps yelling but I don’t watch

If I fall, I bounce back twice

Fast-lane living, no rewind device

Outro

Yeah, I don’t stop

Read between the red lights
