late to the party

i thought i wouldn't sleep in

today i finally would win

but my phone woke up dead

and i had nothing to send

for i was late to the party

stuck with nothing but misery

i had been planning for a while

but i took it like a child

thinking nothing would go wrong

how i long for my alarm's song

for i was late to the party

stuck with nothing but misery

a second glance on the clock

to realize its important ad hoc

i had been ahead the whole time

by more than just a dime

sighing, smiling, laughing

standing tall and chuckling

for i was early to the party

stuck with nothing but irony
