Right On Time
[Intro Refrain]
Ohh ohh ohhh
Ohh ohh ohhh
Ohh ohh ohhh
[Verse 1]
If these walls could talk
I’d defer to the furniture
The piano, the table, the bed that we both sleep in
These constant silent messengers
‘Cause there’s a story that’s recorded in each fingerprint
That these disregarded artifacts collect
And if we boil down these documented memories
I have a feeling we should know what to expect
[Chorus]
You were right on time
And out of nowhere
Right on time
-
[Refrain]
Ohh ohh ohhh
[Verse 2]
If they don’t talk
I’ll investigate a formula
Figures, equations, details of our union
The edges of the nebula
At the end of such a long and noble sacrifice
All that’s left is to submit my full report
I’ll have turned all of my hunches into certainties
That will confirm what I already knew before
[Chorus]
You were right on time
And out of nowhere
Right on time
[Refrain]
Ohh ohh ohhh
Ohh ohh ohhh
Ohh ohh ohhh
[Bridge]
And as I stumble through the streets back from the alleyways
Everyone can see I’m bleeding through my shirt
Now I’m describing all my shooter’s details carefully
And I start to realize just how badly I’ve been hurt
[Chorus]
You were right on time
And out of nowhere
You were right on time
Right on time
And out of nowhere
Right on time
