My Timing Is Off
Eels Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My timing is off, she isn't ready for my love
It's all that I got but it's a pretty big thing
That she should recognize
The truth between us cannot hide

She knows that it's real but the situation doesn't fit
I know what I feel and I know that this is really
Everything it's all about and I don't have a single doubt

My timing is off 'cause sometimes that's how it all works
Believe it or not we don't have a choice
In matters of the heart, just gotta be brave enough
To love and let yourself be loved

My timing is off but I'm not worried 'bout a thing




She knows that it's real, she couldn't throw it all away
For fear of happiness this isn't like that other mess

LYRICS

My timing is off
She isn't ready for my love
It's all that I got
But it's a pretty big thing
That she should recognize
The truth between us cannot hide

She knows that it's real
But the situation doesn't fit
I know what I feel
And I know that this is really it
The thing it's all about
And I don't have a single doubt

My timing is off
But sometimes that's how it all works
Believe it or not
We don't have a choice in matters of the heart
Just gotta be brave enough
To love and let yourself - be loved

My timing is off
And I'm not worried 'bout a thing
She knows that it's real
She couldn't throw it all away
For fear of happiness
This isn't like that other mess

The song is beautiful <3 msg for max down <3
























































I hope you come back soon with more funny content and don't worry haters gonna hate.
Maybe its better to let the critikal npcs get bored of this meaningless hate that they believe anything that is thrown to them and then come back.
I bet they are all homophobes and bring hate to their life to have a reason to keep living.

Ps:for all the max fans stay safe and don't let haters change you.

“One day, whether you are 14, 28 or 65,
you will stumble upon someone who will start a fire in you that cannot die.

However, the saddest, most awful truth you will ever come to find––
is they are not always with whom we spend our lives”
