Daily Lyric: WAITING TILL THE LAST MINUTE

Waiting till the last minute

To get these words out

Waiting till the last minute

To dispel any doubt

Waiting till the last minute

Till I let out a shout

Waiting till the last minute

The last round of the title bout.

I’m waiting

I’m procrastinating

Time’s evaporating

But I’ll get it done.

Waiting till the last minute

To get something done

Waiting till the last minute

Deadline under the gun

Waiting till the last minute

This isn’t any fun

Waiting till the last minute

The pressure weighs a ton.

I’m waiting ...

Waiting till the last minute

So that I can say

Waiting till the last minute

I did something with my day

Waiting till the last minute

Time just ticks away

Waiting till the last minute

To avoid all the clichés.

I’m waiting ...

This lyric dates back to the early 2000s, when I was making it my business to write a song per day during my lunch breaks at work. Many of these lyrics were about some facet or another of my everyday life. This is no exception. I was living at the Jersey Shore, in a life that was stable, on the surface, but there was always an undercurrent of there being something wrong. Procrastination, I suppose, was one way of dealing with it ... pushing off any "issues" until they would be forgotten about, thus absolving me of any need to resolve them. I still do this ... not that it is one of my most endearing qualities. But that's the way that it goes ... a way of getting through this thing we call life.
