V1
A brand new disposition, Just a moment late.
A lifetime of enlightenment, the moment you escaped.
Finally things are looking up, I’m looking up your name.
Finally I’m growing up, but I still feel the same.
Its okay if you’ve fallen. Its only time to heal.
Its okay, I’m not stalling, but what a way to feel.
The cards are on the table, but I just found out the deal.
V2
Things are finally shaping up, falling into place.
But in my mind I’m making up the features of your face.
Challenging my apathy, servicing my shame;
Understanding everything, but nothing is the same.
And its okay if you’ve fallen. It’s better in the end.
Its okay I’m not stalling, but I will not pretend
That this is getting easier without the love you lend.
Ch
And Ooh, this must be delayed reaction.
Cause what I thought was missing was my only satisfaction.
And Ooh, I’ve made a mess of my tomorrows
Cause what I had yesterday today I cannot even borrow.
V3
Sometimes I’m awake at night, wondering where you are,
And asking if some lucky man is giving you the stars.
Have I been replaced by him? Does he make you glow
Like planets on our ceiling where our love no longer goes.
And it’s okay if you’ve fallen. It’s only time to grow.
It’s okay she’s not calling, as long as you still know
That forward is the one direction you have left to go.
Ch
And Ooh, this must be delayed reaction.
Cause what I thought was missing was my only satisfaction.
And Ooh, I’ve made a mess of my tomorrows
Cause what I had yesterday today I cannot even borrow
