[Verse 1] I’ve been runnin’ on empty… runnin’ on fumes… Chasin’ versions of me... I don’t recognize anymore. Time keeps slippin’… slippin’ past my hands, Like I blink too long and lose half this life I planned. Some days I swear I’m fine… Some days I lie so damn good I almost believe it… But not tonight… (not tonight…) --- [Chorus] Time don’t wait — but you slow it down for me. World goes loud — but you set me free. Fight the clock — but your hands hold mine. Every racing heart — beats in line. (in line.... In line..... In line......) Heartbeats (in line.... In line..... In line......) heart beats.... in line.... In line..... In line...... --- [Verse 2] I keep learnin’ the hard way… same lesson twice. Heart on my sleeve, but I stitch it back up tight. “You don’t notice a chapter end until the page is already turned.” “You don’t lose years all at once — it’s five minutes at a time.” Time keeps showin’ me piece by piece..... Lessons hit hard, but they bring release.... “Time slips!” “Time burns!” “Time breaks!” “Time heals!” --- If I don’t slow down… If I don’t breathe… I’ll miss the parts of me I’m tryin’ to save. --- [Build up Bridge: screaming] Stay with me… Stay with me… While I try to meet myself halfway. Every heartbeat… every pause… Reminds me life’s not just a race. --- [Chorus — Full Impact / Repeatable] Time don’t wait — but you slow it down for me. World goes loud — but you set me free. Fight the clock — but your hands hold mine. Every racing heart — beats in line. (in line.... In line..... In line......) Heartbeats (in line.... In line..... In line......) heart beats.... in line.... In line..... In line...... [Outro — soft, reflective] I’ve been runnin’ on empty… But tonight… I stop. And let myself feel the weight of time… (Small buildup instrumental) "Time slips.” “Time burns.” “Time breaks.” “Time heals.” ((Second pass; screaming)) “Time slips!” “Time burns!” “Time breaks!” “Time heals!!” [Echo pass; slowly fading, spaced out] “Time slips…” “Time burns…” “Time breaks…” “Time heals…” ((Loopable fade))
