deadline

Chocolates from Paris
My girl just sent them
I’ll eat them later
She says they’re expensive

Sat in the kitchen
Dust on the boxes
Melted away before I got to taste them

Don’t know what you got until it’s gone
Only text you back when you don’t call
Only miss the winter when it’s hot
Can’t add another hour to the clock

Tell me why

I keep chasing the deadline
Late to parties all my life
'Cause everyday the Sun will always rise
I never had to try 'cause I got time
So I, I keep chasing the deadline

I miss my parents
They said I should visit
Told them I would once the album was finished

That was last August
Can’t make this Christmas
Sold out two shows, had to cancel the tickets

How many birthdays and occasions do I miss until it’s too late?
I'm not the only one blowing out candles on cakes

I keep chasing the deadline
Late to parties all my life
'Cause everyday the Sun will always rise
I never had to try 'cause I got time
So I, I keep chasing the deadline

Smell all the flowers
See all the colors
Go on that trip
You’ve been saving for summer

Tell her you love her
Forgive your brother
'Cause in the end
All we got is each other

Smell all the flowers
See all the colors
Go sing off key
In a room full of strangers

Tell her you love her
Forgive your brother
'Cause in the end
All we got is each other

I keep chasing the deadline
Late to parties all my life
‘Cause everyday the Sun will always rise
I never had to try cause I got time
So I, I keep chasing the deadline

All we got is each other
