Just In Time Lyrics
Morning comes too soon
I can sleep but moments never rest, and then it's noon
They go drifting by, and I want to try
To stop and calculate
How the moments get from here to there
But they won't wait
I must let them go but I long to know that I'm just in time
Not a moment too soon
In the present tense
The past is just a lie that's good at seeming to make sense
It's a clever list that does not exist
And in the present tense, the future rushes back to meet the past
But these events never penetrate to my present state
When I'm just in time
Not a moment too soon
Everything recedes
The first word of this verse has just become what no-one needs
It is suddenly just a memory
And I'll buy you the moon!
I'll have time for everything important someday soon
Better keep the crumbs - someday never comes
When I'm just in time. I'm la la la longing to be now
