It's the story of my life. It's also a basic guitar rock song with the bass taking the repeating theme.

I was in a band that would have gotten together years earlier if not for bad timing, so we named the band Bad Timing. I thought a song of the same name would be appropriate.

Ever get the feelin the time wasn't right
You're gonna lose before you start to fight
I know I've been there, and you've been there too
I guess there's nothing you can do

Ever get the feelin it was wrong from the start
Though you try to give it all of your heart
Don't wanna leave, but you know you can't stay
I see it happen every day

Bad timing, right from the start
Bad timing, left here in the dark
We wanted to do better, but we had no say
Bad timing made us lose our way

If the time is wrong there's nothing you can do
Can't fight what fate has in store for you
You spin the wheel and you take what you get
You play your hand and place your bet

Bad timing, right from the start
Bad timing, left here in the dark
We wanted to do better, but we had no say
Bad timing made us lose our way
