Everybody in a hurry, where we going though? Light turned green half a second, somebody blowing horns Cutting through traffic like we're racing against time Risking twenty years of living just to save a minute five Everybody rushing like the finish line is near Coffee in one hand, whole week's disappearing Talking 'bout "I can't be late," stressed another year Funny how we're racing through the life we came to live here Maybe they're late to work, somebody home sick Maybe three bills behind, barely handling it Everybody carries something you can't see Sometimes anger is somebody trying to survive Everybody in a hurry Everybody gotta go Running past the little moments Trying to reach some bigger goal But what if this is the good part? What if this is what we miss? Everybody chasing someday While today is happening Phone buzzing, clock ticking, calendar packed Eating on the move 'cause we gotta get back Tell the ones we love, "I'll call you when I can" Another month disappears inside the plan Save that trip, save that dream, save what we wanna try Like somebody guaranteed us eighty-five Take the drive, make the call Don't keep waiting for someday at all We spend our lives saving life for the right time Then look back wondering where the hell went mine Everybody in a hurry Everybody gotta go Running past the little moments Trying to reach some bigger goal But what if this is the good part? What if this is what we miss? Everybody chasing someday While today is happening I'm guilty too, man, I rush with the best Thinking 'bout tomorrow while today's on my chest Moving so fast I forget why I left Then wonder why I'm tired when I never rest Maybe you ain't chasing money Maybe something's chasing you Maybe slowing down feels dangerous After everything you've been through I don't know what clock you're racing I don't know what weight you bear But if life's got you running breathless I hope you find some breathing air Maybe peace feels unfamiliar Maybe smiling feels too hard Maybe you've been holding everything So long you stay on guard You don't have to fake you're happy You don't have to hide the pain Hurting doesn't heal much faster When we hand somebody else the rain If you're walking through the darkness You don't gotta fake the light You don't owe the world a happy face When nothing feels alright But you don't gotta hand your hurting To every person passing by Sometimes a little kindness Gets us through another night If you see somebody smiling Don't assume they had it light Maybe they fought like hell for years To get their heart back right Maybe that laugh you're hearing Wasn't always easy to find You never know what somebody conquered Just to finally feel alive Everybody in a hurry Everybody carrying weight Some are running toward tomorrow Some are running from yesterday Before we answer hate with hate Give another human A little grace I've had days I wasn't pleasant Had some weight behind my eyes Had a storm nobody noticed While I told 'em I was fine Somebody could've judged me For the energy I gave But one kind human Can completely change your day When somebody cuts me off Like the world's about to end I can lose my peace about it Or wonder where they've been Maybe they're being selfish Maybe life's gone off the rails Either way I lose no sunshine Hoping that they're doing well Somebody running for the train Somebody late again Somebody staring at the clock Like it's their oldest friend Somebody working double shifts Trying to keep the lights alive We're all moving for a reason Don't miss your whole damn life Everybody in a hurry I ain't judging, I understand We got rent, dreams, people And a thousand different plans Don't run so fast toward someday That today becomes the past Build yourself a future Without running from what you have If you're having one of those days Where the whole world's weighing tons You ain't gotta know me deeply You ain't gotta tell me what you've done Sometimes "Man, I need a hug" Is enough to understand There's love still walking around You only gotta reach your hand You don't have to hide your hurting You don't have to spread it too You can smile while you're still healing That don't make the pain less true If you can't find your light today Borrow some from someone who can Sometimes love is just a stranger Saying, "I got you, my friend" Maybe somebody needs your patience Maybe somebody needs your smile Maybe somebody hasn't felt Like they mattered in a while We don't know the wars they're fighting Or the roads they've crossed Love can cost you nothing And still be worth a lot If the light stays red Let the damn light stay If the road moves slow We still got today If somebody needs a minute Give 'em one along the way Ain't nobody giving trophies For arriving at the grave Everybody's in a hurry But we don't have to race Slow down enough To give another human grace Slow down enough To notice why we're here And slow down enough To see who might need you near.
