The clock keeps ticking And my breathing’s getting slow Been fighting this feeling Since the first hello You said we had forever But forever was a lie Now I’m standing in the wreckage Watching all the hours die Pre-Chorus Every word is fading Every spark is slipping by I can feel it breaking Right before my eyes Chorus We’re just running out of time Running out of time From the moment you said hi I was running out of time You held forever in your hands Then let it pass us by Now all we’ve got is one last shot Before it all goes dry We’re just running out of time Verse 2 I kept chasing shadows Thinking love would make them stay But every road we wandered Just kept pulling us away You wore that smile like sunlight But it burned out in the night Now I’m left with empty echoes And a heart too tired to fight Pre-Chorus Every word is fading Every spark is slipping by I can feel it breaking Right before my eyes Chorus We’re just running out of time Running out of time From the moment you said hi I was running out of time You held forever in your hands Then let it pass us by Now all we’ve got is one last shot Before it all goes dry We’re just running out of time ⸻ Bridge (this is the money moment — controlled explosion): (half-time, stripped instruments → builds) I tried to hold it together… Tried to believe every word you said (drums build, guitars creeping in) But the truth hits harder… When there’s nothing left to defend (full band hits — gritty vocal push, not blown-out scream) I’M NOT WAITING FOR FOREVER— I’M NOT LIVING IN YOUR LIE— (backing vocals layered) We were burning from the first spark— WE WERE DYING THE WHOLE TIME— ⸻ Final Chorus (biggest, widest, stacked vocals): We’re just running out of time Running out of time From the moment you said hi I was running out of time No more waiting for forever No more living on a lie Just the sound of one heart breaking As the seconds pass us by We’re just running out… We’re just running out… (outro gang-style layered vocals) Running out of time
