I DON'T REMEMBER WHY I WAS LATE
I DO REMEMBER YOU STANDING THERE
A FIGURE PERFECTLY DRAWN
THEN I SMILED BUT I FELT STRANGE
I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE CONTROL
BUT I KNOW THAT I HAD IT ALL WRONG

AND THE CLOCK IT TOOK IT'S TIME
TO SHOW ME HOW YOU'D BRING ME DOWN
THERE'S NO PLACE ELSE TO GO
OR A CLUE OF ALL THE SHIT THAT IT'S TO COME
AND I JUST CAN'T BLAME THE TRUTH
IF THERE WAS SOMETHING I COULD DO
I'D LEAVE IT IN THE CORNER OF SOME BAR

IT'S LATE, AND FADED AWAY
AT LEAST I WON'T SEE THAT SIDE AGAIN

AND THEN I WATCHED YOU CAREFULLY
I'M SURE I TOUCHED YOU LIGHTLY
IT WAS MY MAKING IT WAS MY OWN
BUT I JUST DIDN'T BELONG

AND THE CLOCK IT TOOK IT'S TIME
TO SHOW ME HOW YOU'D BRING ME DOWN
THERE'S NO PLACE ELSE TO GO
OR A CLUE OF ALL THE SHIT THAT IT'S TO COME
AND I JUST CAN'T BLAME THE TRUTH
IF THERE WAS SOMETHING I COULD DO
I'D LEAVE IT IN THE CORNER OF SOME BAR

T'S LATE, AND FADED AWAY
AT LEAST I WON'T SEE THAT SIDE AGAIN

THERE'S NO PLACE ELSE TO GO
OR A CLUE OF ALL THE SHIT THAT'S COMING UP

AND I JUST CAN'T BLAME THE TRUTH
THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO

MY HEAD GOES BACK IN TIME AND TRIES TO FIND A MOMENT THAT COULD SOMEHOW LAST

THE WORST OF WAYS

AT LEAST I WON'T SEE THAT SIDE AGAIN
