Im always unpunctual. Im still working on it. This song is about that one time I was late for my very important date.
Im always unpunctual. Im still working on it. This song is about that one time I was late for my very important date. What my mind was racing through, as I was late, how scared I was of screwing up my date, all the horrible things I imagined might have happened, and finally realized how important she was to me.
Was running late for a precious date
Was a bad planner made it all go to a waste
Nevertheless got a bus in time of haste
Stuck up in traffic seemed like waiting for a day
A message rings
A friend says
Two tickets of her favorite play
Paper Planes flying everywhere
Each paper plane a probability
Of things that might have happened (x4)
Jumped out the bus ran like life depended on it
Through sleeping cars that kept honking for an exit
Tryst at the plaza, I halted gasping for it
Wet till the underwear and reeking like a skunk-breed
I looked around
She wasn't there
She's not the kind to just be late
Paper Planes flying everywhere
Each paper plane a probability
Of things that might have happened (x4)
Maybe Mike came along, just spoke to her, took her away
But he's in Srinagar as of today
Maybe she called Shreya to go shopping
Maybe her mom came and stopped her from leaving
Maybe she got tired of standing and waiting
Maybe she just went to have an ice-cream
Did she land in an accident?
What if she is still bleeding?
What if she's abducted?
What if I never see her?
And I see her there
Giving me that stare
For me the world's a blur
I hope she understands
I hope she understands (x4)
