You never wait for me.
"Hurry up."
I'm slow,
But I always wait for you.
"Thanks."

I'm the pocket watch rabbit
And the DMV sloth.
I live in Neverland
Until I'm woken up.
"Hurry up."

My head is spinning.
What time is it?
Wait, what day is it?
I need my medicine.
This is a blur.
"Hurry up."

Put me in hospice.
My mind is past its prime.
I can't keep track of anything,
Not even the time.
"Hurry up."

How do things slip my mind?
Why am I always last?
What always takes so long?
Where am I?
I thought I knew.
"Hurry up."

Oh, here I go again.
Now I can't breathe.
I feel well past forty,
When I'm only eighteen.
Where's my walker?
"Hurry up."

What was I thinking?
How did I mess that up?
Everything happens so fast.
My clock's always stuck.
"Hurry up."

I'm missing frames.
Who do I blame?
There's no one else here.
I frame myself.
And their fingers point.
"Hurry up."

One more time.
I'll be rich.
We walk together,
Our steps in sync,
I'm right there with you,

But still to my dismay,
I hear you say,
"Hurry up."
