  • Shoes hurting my feet
    The cars are passing me by
    I'm taking off the wrong streets
    I'll never make it on time

    Never make it on time
    I'm trying to get to you
    Something just won't let me through
    I don't know what I'm gonna do
    Help me, please

    'Cause I can swim in a stream
    And I can hear the clock chime
    'Cause I come in a bad dream
    I'll never make it on time

    Never make it on time
    I'm trying to get to you
    Something just won't let me through
    I don't know what I'm gonna do
    Help me, please

    Just to know he's waiting
    Makes it more frustrating
    But there's a pain
    Nothing I can do

    It's kind of funny to see
    He's always treated me so kind
    He's always good to me
    I'll never make it on time

    I won't make it on time
    No way I'll make it on time
    I'm really sorry but it just don't look as if
    I'm gonna be there on time

    I won't make it on time Writer/s: JESSE HARRIS, NIKKI YANOFSKY, RON SEXSMITH
