[Verse 1]

This is a daydream

The past connects my thoughts

I watch them racing

I'm stuck here waiting

Disregard that thought, I'm just complaining

Something we all do

[Pre-Chorus]

It's bad news for your heart now, darling

Bad news when you can't get through

Bad news for your heart now, darling

Swallowing the truth

[Chorus]

Is it the right time?

Is it the right time?

Is it the right time?

It's never the right time

[Verse 2]

I'm still depending

On all of my best friends to make my brain think

Eventually I'll find

That I get down 'cause the sugar ain't sweet

And the car breaks down in the middle of the street

And the oil in the engine, well it only wants to leak

Well how are you feeling, are you standing on your feet?

[Chorus]

Is it the right time?

Is it the right time?

Is it the right time?

It's never the right time

[Refrain]

Oh, was I swallowed whole?

Oh, was I swallowed whole?

[Pre-Chorus]

It's bad news for your heart now, darling

Bad news when you can't get through

It's bad news for your heart now, darling

You've been swallowed in the truth

[Chorus]

Is it the right time?

Is it the right time?

Is it the right time?

It's never the right time

[Refrain]

Was I swallowed whole?

Oh, was I swallowed whole?

Oh, was I swallowed whole?

Oh, was I swallowed whole?

[Outro]

Take me down into your weary sleep

Are you lonely, talking with your heart closed?

Whatever was good is gone
