You're Not Late to Nothing (version 2)

Verse

Coffee cup gone cold, your smile through the steam

Barely two minutes late and I'm counting down a dream

Your feet slide quiet across the worn wooden floor

You've got the patience of a sunrise in my door

Pre-Chorus

And every tick of that clock just melts away

Cause I don't keep one on you, no way

I'd let time run backwards just to see your face

Is this what they mean by 'making every minute count' in this place?

Chorus

You're not late for nothing, baby, you walk right into my heart

Every second that's missing turns out to be the start

You're not late for gold, no way, I've been holding it for years

You just showed up with the sunrise in your eyes and now it clears

Verse

Last night's record skips but we don't rewind

Only forward where every lost minute's left behind

Your jacket on a hook like nobody asked you stay

Every single second counts if you show me the way

Pre-Chorus

And every tick of that clock just melts away

Cause I don't keep one on you, no way

I'd let time run backwards just to see your face

Is this what they mean by 'making every minute count' in this place?

Chorus

You're not late for nothing, baby, you walk right into my heart

Every second that's missing turns out to be the start

You're not late for gold, no way, I've been holding it for years

You just showed up with the sunrise in your eyes and now it clears

Bridge

Maybe time was just a story told by people on the wall

But you walk like every second's yours alone at all

I don't need a schedule to tell me when is right

Cause every single one of those minutes feels exactly what I want tonight

Chorus

You're not late for nothing, baby, you walk right into my heart

Every second that's missing turns out to be the start

You're not late for gold, no way, I've been holding it for years

You just showed up with the sunrise in your eyes and now it clears
