[Intro] [Clean Piano and Synth Pad] (Soft piano, slow swell, reflective mood) [Verse 1] You keep saying you are running out of time Like it is something I can steal away But I was there before your first clear breath I will be here when names all fade You measure me in numbers on a wall I measure you in moments you ignore [Pre-Chorus] You only feel me when you think you’re late I feel you every second that you live [Chorus] I am the hours you keep trying to outrun I am the days you said you did not have You spend your heart like it will grow back twice Then ask me where it went You say I move too fast for you But you are the one who turns away [Verse 2] You call me cruel when things begin to change But you are change in walking form Every choice you make becomes your shape Every silence writes a line You want a sign before you move your feet Movement is the only sign you get [Pre-Chorus] You wait for perfect, perfect never comes You live in almost and someday [Chorus] I am the hours you keep trying to outrun I am the days you said you did not have You spend your heart like it will grow back twice Then ask me where it went You say I move too fast for you But you are the one who turns away [Breakdown] [Piano, Low Bass, Sparse Drums] (Intimate, close vocal feel) I am not your enemy I am your witness [Pre-Solo Build] (Synth rise, tom build, guitar swells) [Solo Section – featured instrumental journey] [Extended Guitar Solo – melodic, progressive, theme-driven] [Slow expressive opening phrases] [Build into faster runs] [Dual Guitar Harmony Lead] [Final High Climb – grand and sustained] [Final Chorus – lift] I am the years you thought were still ahead I am the door you never tried to open I keep the truth of everything you gave And everything you held Do not ask me where I went Ask yourself where you were [Final Chorus – main] I am the hours you keep trying to outrun I am the days you said you did not have You spend your heart like it will grow back twice Then ask me where it went You say I move too fast for you But you are the one who turns away [Outro] [Full Band Resolve] (Held final chord, drums and guitars stop together)
