Just About Time
[Verse 1] Time off ain’t wasted, it’s time that I own Not every silence is meaning I quit. You count the hours like debt to be shown I count the hours as proof I commit. You’re hearing the pause like it cancels the song, But breaks in the rhythm just carry it strong. [Pre-Chorus 1] “How much time do you need?” “How much longer must I plead?” [Chorus] 7 seconds to say goodbye, 7 minutes to make me cry, 7 hours - pretend to forgive, 7 days… to learn how to live. 7 weeks just to ease the pain, 7 months to trust you again, 7 years to try to forget… But a lifetime to regret. [Verse 2] Some chase the finish, I’m chasing the ground Not every step has to push for the prize. I’m learning the quiet’s the place I am found It speaks when the noise only covers the lies. I move at my pace, not the pace they demand, My worth isn’t tied to the race they had planned. [Pre-Chorus 2] “How much time will it take?” “How much longer must I wait?” [Chorus] 7 seconds to say goodbye, 7 minutes to make me cry, 7 hours - pretend to forgive, 7 days… to learn how to live. 7 weeks just to ease the pain, 7 months to trust you again, 7 years to try to forget… But a lifetime to regret. [Bridge] Time runs fast but it won’t confess, Leaves you guessing, it won’t address. No shortcuts, no easy speed, So take all the time if it’s time that you need. [Chorus] 7 seconds to say goodbye, 7 minutes to make me cry, 7 hours - pretend to forgive, 7 days… to learn how to live. 7 weeks just to ease the pain, 7 months to trust you again, 7 years to try to forget… But a lifetime to regret. [Outro] “Louder” don’t mean that your truth is clear, “Closer” don’t mean that you’re really here. Crowds can surround but still leave you cold, Silence can tell… What the noise never told. [End]
