I Am Right On Time Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We were just kids
It wasn't over when it ended
Our ballroom bliss
Counterfeit under extended
I knew your touch
I knew your weather
We were the same, faith is change
Read our doctrine, ooh

[Chorus]
So pour me a glass and I'll tell you 'bout our war-torn born and raised dumb
And how we never found the line
My mind is mirrors, don't know what is and what's reflection
The future's past, I'm right on time

[Verse 2]
I was just a kid
Born from another

A little trick, a giant miss
Didn't matter
Now I'm a child again
I'm a motherlеss wire
Spinning 'round, buzzing wild
Hurting others, ooh
[Chorus]
So pour me a glass and I'll tеll you 'bout our war-torn born and raised dumb
And how we never found the line
My mind is mirrors, don't know what is and what's reflection
The future's past, I'm right on time

[Outro]
For once in my life
I am right on time

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

The lead-off track of Bleachers' self-titled record sets the album-wide theme of introspection in the moment. Jack Antonoff’s narrator suggests he was a mess as a kid and not much better — but still evolved — now. “I Am Right on Time” is a song of acceptance of one’s flaws without hand-waving away that they are problems.
