Do you ever glance at your watch?
Like never?
... Yeah it shows
Explains your bad timing
Your selfish ways
Your nonchalance
Your all nighting
Your need to play
Your childish taunts
Explains why you are here and there
In and out
Everywhere
Except at the house
Explains why you can't explain
"I am busy" are the only words that you can say
When dinner is preparing
The chicken is turning
Pasta is churning
Bread is burning
It's you who I'm learning
I fix my plate 30 minutes early
Knowing that you gonna be late
8 turns into 8
Night turns into morning
And you out by noon because of something suddenly alarming
But whenever my call pop up you steadily ignoring
In a relationship where one person live by eastern timing and the other is 3 hours behind
How do they ever spend time?
When one person speaks English and the other speaks German
How do they ever rhyme?
When one person is alone and the other is accompanied
How do they ever bind?
And if I'm never on your mind
Why don't I nevermind?
And stop letting time roll by
Every minute
Your'e never in it
Every second
I always come second
And every time the long hand reaches 12
I'm always by myself
I might buy you a digital watch to see if that helps
