Verse 1
You said, “It’s late,” I said, “I know”
You said, “Don’t you have somewhere to go?”
Six a.m., train, bag still empty
Hair still wet and you look tempting
Three alarms and one good reason
Not to make a bad decision
I could leave, I probably should
You smiled—
There goes good
Pre-Chorus
I spent years waiting on a green light
Turns out nobody gives one out
If tomorrow wants to hate me
It can get in line right now
Chorus
If this is bad timing
It’s the best I’ve ever had
Kiss me in the doorway
Make me miss the train I packed for
Let the morning talk about us
We can blame it on the night
If this is bad timing
Baby, time it worse tonight
I don’t want the perfect moment
Perfect never did me good
If this is bad timing—
Come make it worse
You should
Post-Chorus
Come make it worse
Come make it worse
I’ve been good all week
Come make it worse
Verse 2
“Just one drink,” famous last words
Friday night turned into birds
Singing somewhere over rooftops
While we’re laughing at the wrong stop
Shoes came off around eleven
Lost my phone around half seven
Found it underneath your coat
Missed three calls
Worth it though
Pre-Chorus
There is always something waiting
Always somewhere I should be
I got tired of making memories
Only when they’re convenient for me
Chorus
If this is bad timing
It’s the best I’ve ever had
Kiss me in the doorway
Make me miss the train I packed for
Let the morning talk about us
We can blame it on the night
If this is bad timing
Baby, time it worse tonight
I don’t want the perfect moment
Perfect never did me good
If this is bad timing—
Come make it worse
You should
Post-Chorus
Come make it worse
Come make it worse
I know better
That makes it worse
Bridge
Call the cab
Cancel it
Pour the wine
Finish it
Take the long way
Miss the turn
Stay until the streetlights burn
I know better
That’s the fun
Knowing better
Still not done
If I regret it in the morning
I’ll regret it when it comes
Final Chorus
If this is bad timing
It’s the best I’ve ever had
Leave the lights on in the kitchen
Let the whole damn night go bad
There’ll be years for being careful
Tonight’s already halfway gone
If this is bad timing
We’ve been timing it all wrong
I don’t want the perfect moment
I want one I’ll still recall
If this is bad timing—
Come make it worse
Come make it worse
Come make it—

You know
