The bar’s still warm where my elbow leans, Clock on the wall don’t mean a thing. I meant to leave an hour ago, But memory reminds me, take it slow. They say you’re fine, you’re doing okay, I nod like that’s the truth I’ll say. Funny how time don’t ask to play Just takes its coat and walks away I blinked once… And a decade leaned closer. Funny how time slips away, Right through the cracks of what we didn’t say. I thought we had tomorrow stored. Turns out tonight was keeping score. Same piano, different tune, Same mistakes, better room. I learned time never begs or pleads, It never knows when to let love leave. I didn’t come to save the night, Or tell you wrong from right. I just heard your silence call my name, And followed it… anyway. Funny how time slips away, But grace will find a quieter way. If this is all we get tonight— Let’s not rush the morning light. Some clocks don’t count what truly stays. Some hearts forgive… Funny how time slips away.
