this is about the day after a rough night.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
26th of July,
Sitting outside apartments coloured grey,
My mind is foggy, yet comfortable,
Like warm jackets on winter days,

16 degrees,
Finally a moment to sit and reflect,
Sifting through last nights misadventures,
I'm scared to think I remember correctly,

I realise now what I didn't before,
You've got to handle yourself before you handle the floor,
If you give a little less, all they want is some more,
Sometimes you've just got to show them the door,

[Chorus]
I'm not gonna be around forever,
I've not got time to put your act together,
I've got somewhere to be,
At five, and it's half past three,

I'm not gonna be around forever,
I've not got time to put your act together,
I don't have all the time in the universe,
Just to help you,

[Verse 2]
How can you know,
What to think when you can't at all,
There's only so much I can fit in my mind,
Before it starts to slow to a crawl,

I realise now what I didn't before,
You've got to handle yourself before you handle the floor,
If you give a little less, all they want is some more,
Sometimes you've just got to show them the door,

[Chorus]
I'm not gonna be around forever,
I've not got time to put your act together,
I've got somewhere to be,
At five, and it's half past three,

I'm not gonna be around forever,
I've not got time to put your act together,
I don't have all the time in the universe,
Just to help you,

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
I realise now what I didn't before,
You've got to handle yourself before you handle the floor,
If you give a little less, all they want is some more,
Sometimes you've just got to show them the door,

[Chorus]
I'm not gonna be around forever,
I've not got time to put your act together,
I've got somewhere to be,
At five, and it's half past three,

I'm not gonna be around forever,
I've not got time to put your act together,
I don't have all the time in the universe,
Just to help you,

I'm not gonna be around forever,
I've not got time to put your act together,
I've got somewhere to be,
At five, and it's half past three,

I'm not gonna be around forever,
I've not got time to put your act together,
I don't have all the time in the universe,
Just to help you.
