Lyrical Coincidence

I was listening to Nirvana's Come As You Are on the ol' iPod this morning and these particular lyrics stuck out to me:

Take your time, hurry up
The choice is yours, don't be late.

It suddenly sounded very familiar. After running it through the database of songs in my head, I came up with Blink-182's Adam's Song. After a few clicks and circles of my thumb, I had this song going on the iPod. And there is a fairly similar lyric:

I took my time, I hurried up
The choice was mine, I didn't think enough.

I wonder if they just liked those lines or if there's supposed to be some deeper meaning there. Adam's Song, which basically encapsulates a kid's thoughts before committing suicide, was released about six years after Kurt Cobain committed suicide. Looks like I'm not the only one who has noticed this: Wikipedia, Songfacts
