Lyrics

Well, I saw you
Before you saw me
And I admit that I was lacking poise
So, I had no choice
But to try to use my voice
To separate myself from other boys

At first, I wasn't sure if it would even work
Until I caught your eye and saw that little smirk
So, I played the nice guy hiding an inner jerk
Just to see if you would play along

I'm so excited
Cause, I had finally found
An upside down frown
Got me leaving my home
And driving downtown
To see if I could meet you for another round
But you and your man were already gone

I'm never on time
I'm never on time
I'm a step ahead or I'm a mile behind
A tick tock ticking in the back of my mind
Cause I'm never on time

I'm never on time
I'm never on time
The world's in fast forward and I'm rewind
The things that I would do to you to make you mine
If I was only on time

Well, I got there just a minute or two
Before she was to arrive
It wasn't part of the plan
She had her head in her hands
And the poor girl started to cry

I said listen baby girl
This ain't about you
If you only knew exactly what I've been through
They you'd know it's true that there was nothing I could do
And I'm sorry that I made you wait

I hate to say it but maybe it's time
For you to make it clear
Can you give it a try
Or do you need another beer
Just tell me what I gotta hear
Or please just tell me that I'm too late

I'm never on time
Never on time
I'm a step ahead or I'm a mile behind
A tick tock ticking in the back of my mind
Cause I'm never on time

I'm never on time
Never on time
The world's in fast forward and I'm rewind
The things that I would do to you to make you mine
If I was only on time

I'm never on time, time, time
I'm never on time
I'm trying
I'm trying to get
I'm trying to get you out of my mind
Never on time
Never on time
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
The things that I would do to you would blow your mind
If I was only on time
