V5.5

[Intro —] Everybody keeps saying I'm running out of time. ... But what if time isn't chasing me? [Verse 1 —] Streetlights turn to constellations, windows blur into the night. Everybody's racing somewhere— I forgot to ask them why. Old expectations in the rearview, still telling me where I should be. All the lives I thought I'd live by now keep flickering through me. Married by— successful by— healed by— ... Says who? I've been counting every birthday like a deadline I had missed, measuring the life I'm living against one that don't exist. Maybe I was never late. Maybe there was never a finish line in the first place. [Pre-Chorus — ] So let the seconds run, let the city blur. I don't need to know what comes after this. For once... I wanna be exactly where I am. [CHORUS —] Let the whole world move without me, I don't have to match its speed. I've been trying to outrun the static when the silence's what I need. If tomorrow comes too quickly, I'll meet it where I am. I don't have to catch my future— it already knows where I am. (Where I am...) (Where I am...) [Post-Chorus —] No race... No map... No wrong way back... [Verse 2 — ] Used to think that getting older meant becoming someone new, like somewhere there was a version I was supposed to turn into. Better job. Better body. Better answers. Better plans. Always reaching for tomorrow with today still in my hands. And maybe some doors closed behind me. Maybe some I closed myself. Maybe dreams can change their shape without becoming something else. I spent years asking, “Am I there yet?” Never stopping long enough to ask— “Do I even wanna go there?” [Pre-Chorus —] Let the seconds run, let the skyline blur. Every road I didn't take doesn't make this one worth less. For once... I don't need to become anything next. [CHORUS] Let the whole world move without me, I don't have to match its speed. I've been trying to outrun the static when the silence's what I need. If tomorrow comes too quickly, I'll meet it where I am. I don't have to catch my future— it already knows where I am. [Bridge —] You should've— I know. By now you should— I know. Everybody else already— I know. You're running out of— ... No. Maybe I didn't fall behind. Maybe I just stopped following somebody else's clock. Maybe all those versions of me I thought I failed to become... weren't waiting ahead. They were only possibilities. And this one— this one's alive I'm right on time... for the life I'm actually living. (Right on time...) (I'm alive...) (Right on time...) [final chorus — layered Crimson vocals] Let the whole world move around me, I don't have to match its speed. There's no static left to outrun— there's just somewhere I can breathe. Let tomorrow come whenever. I'll be here when it arrives. I don't have to chase my future— I'm already in my life. (Already in my life...) No finish line. No wasted time. No other life I'm meant to find. Every road that brought me here— was mine. [Outro —] Everybody keeps saying time flies. ... Maybe it does. I'll let it.
