Don't Be Late

(album: We Should Break Up - 2014)

Scarlet burn, every light
Fever raged at night
Icy sweats and shaking, I thought that I would die
She come to me, like a rock of ages
Slowly, but no mistaking here there
Standing by, and then she look into me
Then she look into my eyes

And she said, hey you, don't you hesitate
Girl, why you be so shy?
You got your whole life waiting in front of you
Don't let this chance slip by
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
You got the whole world waiting
In front of you, you only fail if you
Never try

I close my eyes, and back I go
Sat on a knee when I was four
Drinking tea out of my grandmother's cup
Oh we were poor, but we didn't know

See now, life it goes by in a blink
And I know that I drink for comfort
But me-e-e, I'm gonna straighten up
I'm gonna pull myself together, gonna hear her and remember

Hey now you, don't you hesitate
Girl, why you be so shy?
You got your whole life waiting in front of you
Don't let this chance slip by
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
You got the whole world waiting
In front of you, you only fail if you
Never try

And then she look into me
Then she look into my eyes

And she said, hey you, don't you hesitate
Girl, why you be so shy?
You got your whole life waiting in front of you
Don't let this chance slip by
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la
You got the whole world waiting
In front of you, you only fail if you
Never try
