[Intro: Jordan Stephens] Yeah, yeah, yeah I was actually five hours late though
[Bridge: Harley Alexander-Sule] I missed my friend's engagement Cause I'm always late Missed my girlfriend's ultrasound Cause I'm always late Had a job interview but I woke up in a state But ask me if I'd do it again and I would say, 'okay,' [Chorus] I'm always late (x6) I don't even own a watch but man, wouldn't that be great? Ask me if I'd do it again and I would say, 'okay,' I'm always late
[Verse 1: Jordan Stephens] Yo, it's the number one faffer Number one bag-packing slacker Number one traffic jammer Yeah I got the radio on but even Lionel Ritchie can't stop this anger I'm looking at my cabbie like 'boss Have you ever seen Men In Black? Yes in fact, remember that bit when they push a red button and go super-fast Can we do that yeah?' Nah, apparently not So now I gotta ring my friend and think on the spot, I'm like 'Yeah, I'm gonna be another forty minutes Because I just saved an orphan,' - wicked
Yeah I'm forever late And when I die I'll get turned away from heaven's gate And there'll be hell to pay They're like, 'Yo, you were supposed to be here yesterday' And I'm like, 'Sorry I didn't fucking die sooner,'
[Pre-Chorus: Harley Alexander-Sule] I missed my best friend's wedding Cause I'm always late Missed my first kid being born Cause I'm always late Missed my own birthday, cause I woke up the next day But ask me if I'd do it again and I would say, 'okay,'
[Chorus: Jordan and Harley] I'm always late (x6) I don't even own a watch but man, wouldn't that be great? Ask me if I'd do it again and I would say, 'okay,' I'm always late
[Verse 2: Jordan Stephens] Yo, blame it on the alcohol or on a reefer Blame it on a two-week stint in Ibiza Blame it on the Sun, or on Fifa Blame it on the last episode of Game of Thrones, bruv Yeah, I got girlfriends [?] Time drags on and I'm late when they see me It's Luigi trying to get a star Going double-fast just to keep my princess peachy
Real talk though, time's a language And you can eat my lack-of-punctuality sandwich It's not all London and Manhattan There are places on Earth than enjoy relaxing Until then I'll get a flat white with added lack of nap-time And whatever will help me fucking not miss my commitments I fall victim to thinking everything will just go smoothly
[Pre-Chorus: Harley Alexander-Sule] And now my best friend hates me Cause I'm always late And my family's moved away Cause I'm always late It ain't even Christmas, but it feels like holiday Cause now I ain't got shit to do so I can sleep all day
[Chorus: Jordan and Harley] I'm always late (x6) I don't even own a watch but man, wouldn't that be great? Ask me if I'd do it again and I would say, 'okay,' I'm always late
[Outro: Jordan Stephens] Ah, yeah, yeah Sorry, I just- You haven't got teleportation Would be great Yeah - see, I didn't even finish that on time
