After Nine
Chasing Time: Overcoming Chaos in the Morning Rush
Lyrics
I'm running late this morning
I am behind schedule this morning.
I should have been to work by six fifteen
I was supposed to be at work by 6:15 AM.
Mister Coffee come and save me
The speaker is seeking comfort or energy from coffee.
I'm sure you know exactly what I mean
Expressing confidence that others understand the feeling of being behind schedule.
A Quiet conversation
A calm and private conversation.
But all the words fall short upon my ears
Despite talking, the speaker feels a lack of meaningful communication.
If I could beat this traffic
If the speaker could avoid traffic, problems might be resolved.
Then maybe all the clouds would disappear
The speaker believes that resolving external issues could improve their situation.
Little by little bit by bit
Gradual progress, commitment to achieving goals without giving up.
I'll make it happen no I won't quit
Emphasizing determination and resilience in pursuing objectives.
Little by little bit by bit
Steady progress is emphasized, reinforcing the commitment mentioned earlier.
I couldn't find the car keys
The speaker is having trouble finding their car keys.
I didn't even kiss the kids goodbye
The speaker didn't have time to say goodbye to their kids.
I'm moving in slow motion
The speaker is moving slowly, possibly due to feeling overwhelmed.
I never even stopped to wonder why
Not reflecting on the reasons behind their actions, moving without purpose.
I wonder why
Reiterating a sense of curiosity or reflection on their situation.
It's after nine
Highlighting the lateness of the day, potentially symbolizing missed opportunities.
It's after nine
Reaffirming the lateness, possibly indicating a realization of time slipping away.
