Lyrics

[Intro]
Your time's always right to fix what's wrong
[Verse 1]
Time is always right in past tense
Avoiding is my newest obsession
Started with the right intentions
But left 'em on the shelf
[Verse 2]
So tell me how to live in tension
'Cause every "could've been" kills when living here has been hell
And I can't hold it myself
Mmm-ah
[PreChorus]
The whisper in my heart, it could never speak up
The message in my chest gathered too much dust, I
Can't afford the truth, even if it's unjust
Keep it top shelf, keep it all locked up so
[Chorus]
Yippee ki-yay, it's not my blood but
Every single day, it calls my bluff, it's
Not okay, then it ain't quite done, then it ain't quite done
No
The time's always right to fix what's wrong
The time's always right to fix what's wrong
[Verse 3]
Looking through a haze, I'm basing
Everything around me on traces
The criminal I've been chasing is wearing my shoes now
[PreChorus]
The whisper in my heart, it could never speak up
The message in my chest gathered too much dust, I
Can't afford the truth, even if it's unjust
Keep it top shelf, keep it all locked up so
[Chorus]
Yippee ki-yay, it's not my blood but
Every single day, it calls my bluff, it's
Not okay, then it ain't quite done, then it ain't quite done
No
[Bridge]
Oh my God, it ain't quite, why
Hold on, it ain't quite love
Hold on, it ain't quite done
No, oh my God, it ain't quite, why
Hold on, it ain't quite love
Hold on, it ain't quite done
[Outro]
The time's always right to fix what's wrong (Ooh)
Time's always right to fix what's wrong
What's wrong, what's wrong, time's always right
The time's always right to fix what's wrong
The time's always right to fix what's wrong
The time's always right to fix what's wrong
