Too early or too late

that seems to be our fate.

To have and eat the cake

the choice we must make.

It's like we're always just trying

to make up our minds.

Be it as it may

but it will drive us insane.

Why, oh why, oh why, oh why

we just can't be on time.

We try, we try, we try, we try

it's all gonna be just fine.

Tomorrow or today

or one more delay.

A price we have to pay

for us being so vain.

It's like we're always just trying

to sort out our lives.

Take it all away

what more can I say.

Why, oh why, oh why, oh why

we just can't be on time.

But we try, we try, we try, we try

it's all gonna be just fine.

Be it as it may

but I won't leave you astray.
