Prompt / Lyrics
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
