Lyric

Tick, tick, I’m awake

But I’m not here yet

Shoes by the door

Name on my sleeve

The room keeps moving

I lag behind

Morning gets there first

I take my time

I can hear the day

Call my name

I’m one beat late

Every time

I arrive later

I arrive later

By the time I bloom

You’re already there

I arrive later

I arrive later

I’m in the room

But I’m not all there

My mouth says “fine”

Before I feel it

Hands on the sink

Trying to meet me

The clock keeps folding

Into my skin

I show up slow

Then start again

I can hear the day

Call my name

I’m one beat late

Every time

I arrive later

I arrive later

By the time I bloom

You’re already there

I arrive later

I arrive later

I’m in the room

But I’m not all there

If I could catch

The first small light

I’d meet myself

At the start of the line

I arrive later

I arrive later

By the time I bloom

You’re already there

I arrive later

I arrive later

I’m in the room

But I’m not all there
