Too Too Late

[Verse 1]
The bell rang out five minutes ago,
But down the corridor you're walking slow,
Chatting with your friend, eyes on your phone,
And the teacher's at the door, all alone

[Pre-Chorus]
You say, "one sec"
Then two more, then ten
Your shoes on the tile
Sound like trouble again

[Chorus]
Too too late, too too late
Run, run, now you're late
Too too late, too too late
Baby, don't make me wait
Too too late, too too late
Slide in, find your seat
Too too late, too too late
You know the clock don't sleep (too too late)

[Verse 2]
Your backpack's swinging like a drum in time,
You stop for a joke by the water line,
Classroom hum, then a pointed stare,
You slip in quiet, trying not to care

[Pre-Chorus]
You grin like, "what?"
But the board says your name
The whole room knows
Who lost this game

[Chorus]
Too too late, too too late
Run, run, now you're late
Too too late, too too late
Baby, don't make me wait
Too too late, too too late
Slide in, find your seat
Too too late, too too late
You know the clock don't sleep (too too late)

[Bridge]
No more dawdling
No more "almost there"
When the bell says go
Better move, be there
Pack that laugh away
Tie your laces tight
Next time hear that ring
You hit the door just right

[Final Chorus]
Too too late, too too late
Run, run, now you're late
Too too late, too too late
Baby, don't make me wait
Too too late, too too late
Slide in, find your seat
Too too late, too too late
You know the clock don't sleep (too too late)
