[Verse 1]
Always on time

[Chorus 1]
Tell me I'm in charge

[Verse 2]
Always on time
You're on my mind— but you're wrong, dear
I won't be telling all the lies when you're gone
The front door opens slow
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Everybody moves on someday
And I can't find you
[Chorus 2]
Tell me you're in charge
Back like the old days
Tell me you're involved
And we will be fine
I, I, I'm still here
You-ou, ou-ou, ou're in the right
Everybody knows I tried
You tried...
[Pre-Chorus 3]

[Chorus 3]
Tell me you're in charge
Back like the old days
Tell me you're involved
And we will be fine
I, I, I'm still here
You-ou, ou-ou, ou're in the right
Everybody knows I tried
And you tried...
