Just Ahead of My Time

[Verse 1]
They called it strange when I changed the design
Said keep it simple, stay inside the line
I kept a notebook full of crooked plans
And bolts and sketches scattered on my hands

[Pre-Chorus]
What looks out of place today
Could be the shape of things by May

[Chorus]
How the weird becomes tomorrow’s norm
I’m just ahead of my time
They’ll call it ordinary when the world catches on
I’m just ahead of my time

[Verse 2]
A paper prototype, a borrowed room
The first small test went up in smoke too soon
You saw a flaw; I saw a different door
So I went back and built a little more

[Pre-Chorus]
What sounds impossible right now
May be the thing they’re asking for somehow

[Chorus]
How the weird becomes tomorrow’s norm
I’m just ahead of my time
They’ll call it ordinary when the world catches on
I’m just ahead of my time

[Breakdown]
Not wrong—just early
Not lost—just turning
Not wrong—just early
Watch the whole room learn it

[Bridge]
Keep the rough draft, keep the bent first frame
A future’s never born with a familiar name
If they need a minute, let the minute pass
I’ll be here making what they haven’t asked

[Final Chorus]
How the weird becomes tomorrow’s norm
I’m just ahead of my time
They’ll call it ordinary when the world catches on
I’m just ahead of my time
How the weird becomes tomorrow’s norm
I’m just ahead of my time
They’ll call it ordinary when the world catches on
I’m just ahead of my time

[Outro]
Just ahead of my time
Just ahead of my time
