[Verse 1] Alarm on snooze Three times Maybe four Cereal in my hand One shoe at the door Phone says 8:10 I swear it said 8:02 Backpack half-zipped Math book on the roof [Pre-Chorus] Mom yelling "fuckin Move it!" Keys tangled in my sleeve Toothpaste on my fresh white Tee I really gotta leave. (groan) "First, I gotta pee." (sighing) "It's Monday..." [Chorus] I'm late for school again Running down the street Half-dreaming Every step a small regret Every breath just heavy breathing If time is such a simple rule Why’s it always breaking me? I'm late for school again Guess that’s just my legacy (hey!) dang, I really need to go go go! [Verse 2] Bus rolls past Driver flips me with a wave My 'best friend' laughing Filming from the window frame Cut through the yard Jumping over someone’s fence Grass stains Ripped jeans Perfect evidence it's Monday. go go go! [Pre-Chorus] Principal in the hallway Arms folded like a gate Shouts "We start at 8:30" I show up 8:38 [Chorus] I'm late for school again Running down the hall Still wheezing. (gotta quit smokin'.) Every clock a guilty face Every tick just keeps on teasing If time is such a simple rule Why’s it always beating me? I'm late for school again Detention on repeat (oh yeah) go go go "man, I really need to pee!" [Bridge] Maybe I like the chaos Maybe I just hate the morning Hit snooze on every promise Like I never saw the warning Write my name on the late slip (Little autograph of shame) But when we laugh about it later I kinda love the blame [Chorus] I'm late for school again Running through the doors Heart racing Every second that I spend Feels like some wild misplacing If life is just a daily bell I’m always slightly out of key I'm late for school again But at least I’m still me
