Verse 1
Alarm goes off, I hit ignore
Same damn dream like a thousand before
Missed the bus, missed the call
Missed my chance, yeah I missed it all
Spilled my coffee on my shirt
Kinda feels like I deserve the worst
Every plan I try to make
Falls apart like it’s my mistake
Chorus
I’m late again, the world won’t wait
I show up just to be late
Every shot I take, I don’t take
I don’t like, how your fake
Everybody else moves on so strong
While my timing’s always wrong
Yea, I guess the world has passed me by
Verse 2
Saw you, in a photograph
Everyone’s ahead, yeah they’re moving fast
I’m still stuck in a loading screen
Trying to figure out, why i’m unclean
Laugh it off like it’s a joke
But it’s getting hard to stay afloat
Every door I almost choose
Closes right before I move
Chorus
I’m late again, the world won’t wait
I show up just to be late
Every shot I take, I don’t take
I don’t like, how your fake
Everybody else moves on so strong
While my timing’s always wrong
Yea, I guess the world has passed me by
Bridge
Maybe I’ll get it right when I’m dead and gone
Put it on my grave: “he was close all along”
Or maybe I just need one damn break
One right turn for every mistake
Break
I’m not broken—I’m just late
May not be my fault- it’s not fate
Final Chorus
I’m late again, the world won’t wait
I show up just to be late
Every shot I take, I don’t take
I don’t like, how your fake
Everybody else moves on so strong
While my timing’s always wrong
Yea, I guess the world has passed me by
I’m late again, the world won’t wait
I show up just to be late
Every shot I take, I don’t take
I don’t like, how your fake
Everybody else moves on so strong
While my timing’s always wrong
Yea, I guess the world has passed me by
