lyrics

Well, I said if time were meant to fly
God would’ve given it some wings
There aren’t enough seconds in the sky
For me to take care of everything

Red-handed clock won’t show its face
Caught in an act of petty theft
I had forever yesterday
Now there isn’t much tomorrow left

It’s the last leg
The wire that I’m down to
With some things I’ll get around to
It’s the last leg
This is where I start to finish strong
Why did I wait so long?

I know that time is of the essence
No excuse this time around
Maybe it’s time I learned a lesson
I think it’s time to buckle down

I feel right at home in the home stretch
I’ve learned to stretch it pretty thin
I’m not an easy one to catch
Soon as I catch that second wind

It’s the last leg
The wire that I’m down to
With some things I’ll get around to
It’s the last leg
This is where I start to finish strong
Why did I wait so long?

There’s no way to balance all this time
It weighs much too heavy in the afternoon
I’ll make the dead-and-finish line
I’ll have it on your desk real soon

It’s the last leg
The wire that I’m down to
With some things I’ll get around to
It’s the last leg
This is where I start to finish strong
Why’d I wait so long?

It’s the last leg
The wire that I’m down to
With some things I’ll get around to
It’s the last leg
This is where I start to finish strong
Why did I wait so long?
