Verse 1
The first verse starts off with "You've applied the pressure / To have me crystalized." This line implies that the other person is putting pressure on the relationship to be perfect. The second line, "And you've got the faith / That I could bring paradise," shows that the other person has faith that the relationship could be great. However, the third line, "I'll forgive and forget / Before I'm paralyzed," shows that the narrator is willing to let things go even if it hurts them.
Chorus
The chorus is where the song gets its title. "So cancel all your plans, baby / I've got so much to do / Life is too short to compromise / So cancel all your plans, baby / I've got so much to do / And I don't want to waste my time with you." These lines are straightforward and show that the narrator is tired of the other person canceling plans and wasting their time.
Verse 2
The second verse starts with "Sometimes I'm thinking / That I love you / But I know it's only lust." This line shows that the narrator is confused about their feelings for the other person. The second line, "The memory of us / Well, it's just intruding on my future," shows that the past is affecting their present and future. The last line, "It's all I can do / To keep myself from falling into you," shows that the narrator is struggling to move on from the other person.
Bridge
The bridge is where the song slows down and becomes more emotional. "I'll be there on time / And you'll be aware / I'm gone / I'll be there on time / And you'll be aware / I'm gone." These lines show that the narrator will be there for the other person, but they won't stay for long. This is a sad and final realization that the relationship is over.
