For when you technically still have time to make things right, but gosh darn how the heck did you let it get this bad in the first place‽

lyrics

I GET IT, I GET IT
YOU GOT THE TIME SO FORGET IT
DRAW A LINE AND RESET IT
CROSS YOUR ARMS DON'T REGRET IT
COS ITS FATE, IT CAN WAIT
SO I'LL BE SLEEPING IN LATE
TAPPING TIMERS TO DATE
TIL WE'RE BOTH IN CHECKMATE

SO FUNDAMENTAL
I'M GOING MENTAL
SWERVING LIKE IT'S A RENTAL
HITTING ROCKS LIKE THEY’RE GENTLE
OH JUST STOP
LET'S FALL BACK FROM THE TOP
COS YOU'RE THE CREAM OF THE CROP
AND YOU JUST KNOW WHO TO DROP

WASTED TIME
AIN’T A CRIME
IT’S JUST A LITTLE TOO LATE FOR EARLY
YOU MAKE IT MINE
I’LL MISS THE SIGN
TIL IT’S A LITTLE TOO LATE EARLY
A LITTLE TOO LATE FOR EARLY
A LITTLE TOO LATE
A LITTLE TOO LATE FOR EARLY
LITTLE BIT TOO LATE

LITTLE LATE, LITTLE LATE,
LITTLE LATE LATE!
LITTLE LATE, LITTLE LATE,
LITTLE OOOH!

TAKE IT MEASURE BY MEASURE
TAKE MY TIME TAKING PLEASURE
LIKE EVERY BEAT IS A TREASURE
LIKE NO ONE MOVES AT THEIR LEISURE
I’LL TAKE IT SLOW
THERE’S NO RUSH TO GET LOW
SO STICK AROUND FOR THE SHOW
COS WE’VE GOT LIGHTYEARS TO GO

I GET IT, I GET IT
YOU GOT THE TIME SO FORGET IT
DRAW A LINE AND RESET IT
CROSS YOUR ARMS DON'T REGRET IT
COS ITS FATE, IT CAN WAIT
SO I'LL BE SLEEPING IN LATE
TAPPING TIMERS TO DATE
TIL WE'RE BOTH IN CHECKMATE
