Bad Timing

by Michael C. Shivar

I dont' like the way this day is going The past is coming back and trouble's brewing It starts so innocently in the beginning I'm okay right now but my ease is slowly fading Run, run, I want to run away I am not doing the things I normally would have done I am not going where I would have gone today And still run into what I was running from Look at the shape I'm in My mind is confused again And I've got three girls in my head Shouldn't let it bother me But I can't help feeling lonely When I'm laying alone tonight in my bed And people tell me it just isn't the time Take it slow, wait my turn in line And it's so hard now just to contain myself Because what I want I just can't have And my eyes betray me all the time Because what I want It just can't be What the future holds I just can't see You open the door Step inside my room And I was too tired to lift my head I awoke the next day To find it just a dream You had already turned and walked away I sat down today Just needed some relief And then you walked into my mind You were lovely then More than I could believe But I just didn't have the time
