[Verse 1 – light, everyday things] If I had just a little more time, I’d clean out the shed, Dam Id fix that porch light! I’d stay a bit longer, not fade away, Pick up my guitar and finally play. [Pre-Chorus – driving] The list goes on, the years slip by, You don’t get back those reasons why. [Chorus – chant-like, tight rhythm] If I had just a little more time, Just known for the love, for looking within. Known for the hugs, oh! Id sit with my sin, For the words I said, not the ones I hid… within If I had just a little more time. ⸻ [Verse 2 – family and connection] If I had just a little more time, I’d walk with my kids, ask how they feel. I’d call up my friends - Ha! - laugh till we cry, Pack my rucksack - oh my! - and take that flight. [Pre-Chorus – firmer punch] It’s not the noise, it’s not the grind, It’s the faces that hold the line. [Chorus – bigger, urgent] If I had just a little more time, Just known for the love, for looking within. Known for true grit, Dam! With my sin I’d sit, The words that I said, not ones that I hid… within With just a little more time. ⸻ [Bridge – blunt truth] Not for the titles, not for the money, But - [ background chant: Hey!] - being the one who showed up and stayed. That’s the story - the clock runs down, It’s Not what you chased, but what you found.[instrumental 32 bars] ⸻ [Final Chorus – full release, legacy] If I had just a little more time, I’d spend time with my thoughts Then Turn up as myself [chant: Dam.!] Create love that lasts long after I’m dead. Dam! - If I had just a little more time. [Outro – bold, final beat] If I had just a little more time.
