On Time

Verse 1

Started with a spark in the dark of my room

Pencil to the page like something would bloom

But the ink always dried before I got to the end

Another grand plan that just wouldn't bend

Pre-Chorus

And I

I keep chasing the high

Of a starting line

That I never cross twice

Chorus

All my ideas just disappear like smoke

I light a match and then I choke

Another notebook full of half-baked lines

I'm the best at starting... worst at finishing on time

Post-Chorus

On time

On time

Worst at finishing on time

Verse 2

Told my mom I'd make something of myself someday

But the projects just pile up and gather dust where they lay

I got a hundred openings but not a single close

The only thing I finish is the doubt that I know

Pre-Chorus

And I

I keep chasing the high

Of a starting line

That I never cross twice

Chorus

All my ideas just disappear like smoke

I light a match and then I choke

Another notebook full of half-baked lines

I'm the best at starting... worst at finishing on time

Bridge

Maybe failure is a habit that I can't break

Every new beginning just a new mistake

I'm the ghost of what I could've been

Always ending where I begin

Chorus

All my ideas just disappear like smoke

I light a match and then I choke

Another notebook full of half-baked lines

I'm the best at starting... worst at finishing on time
