A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More "Touch Me"

Write me off, give up on me
'Cause darling, what did you expect?
I'm just off a lost cause;
A long shot, don't even take this bet.

Why is this song now coming back to haunt me?

I once told her that this song embodied the story of my life. She responded by saying that I may have just meant it to be for my previous love life, and that she feels sorry for me if it was indeed the epitome of my whole life. I thought then that she was probably right. I felt sorry then too, for myself being felt sorry for by the girl of my dreams. I told myself then that I'd stop being late in things that really matter, if only for her sake. But why can't I just stop being late? In love, in life... Why do I always put everything on hold until the chances slip away again? I should know better, and yet why can't I do better?

I set my clock my clocks early 'cause I know I'm always late.
