[Verse 1]
You're heading out, as I'm coming home
But I haven't seen you in forever
We steal a kiss, and you close the door
I guess we're alone in this together
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause life keeps getting between us
And it's all too heavy to keep up anymore
[Chorus]
We stuck by it, we kept trying
But there's no fighting bad timing
I wish we'd met each other five years later
'Cause I hate the way we're being torn apart
We stuck by it, we kept trying
But there's no fighting bad timing, bad timing
[Verse 2]
Well I miss the nights, we'd lie awake
Both throwing shadows at the ceiling
We needed days, me and you
To try to recreate the feeling
[Pre-Chorus]
But life keeps getting between us
And it's all too heavy to keep up anymore
[Chorus]
We stuck by it, we kept trying
But there's no fighting bad timing
I wish we'd met each other five years later
'Cause I hate the way we're being torn apart
We stuck by it, we kept trying
But there's no fighting bad timing, bad timing
[Bridge]
Oh woah
Oh woah
Oh woah oh
Oh woah
Oh woah
Oh woah oh
[Outro]
I wish we'd met each other five years later
'Cause I hate the way we're being torn apart
We stuck by it, kept trying
But there's no fighting bad timing
It's just bad timing, bad timing
Bad timing, it's just bad timing
Bad Timing was written by Rhys Lewis.
Rhys Lewis released Bad Timing on Fri Feb 23 2018.
Since this song is based on an actual relationship, Rhys Lewis described his regrets, which can be found in this song, in an interview:
So it’s sad, I feel like if we had met each other at a different point in our lives we would probably still be together.
In his celebmix interview by Laura Klonowski, Rhys Lewis stated:
I was finding it hard to give enough of myself to the relationship cos I’m already everything to my music/career at the moment. That’s where the title track ‘Bad Timing’ came from.
