It must've been long, long ago
We still believed to be on course
But life grew long, kept moving on while I'm lagging slow
Now he's saddled up to go but like
God knows, I hope the jokes on me and he jumps up out the throne
Cause it won't deliver, won't hit home
He could've fooled me
Just looking like he slept too long
But I don't know
Staring out into the window outgrown
I didn't know this part of the deal

Damn right
You got that time in your side
Like I was just dancing in the corner
Hoping I'd run into you some night
But the fear it's been too long
Is the feeling I can't type
So I just wait my whole life
When I could have all this time

So what you run on empty? I can feel it, I can feel it now
And the body finds other ways to right itself but I hoped you'd stick around
And weighed down with a reckless abandon, the soul is feeling stuck
You're open, you're humble, you're patient, you're honest, you're nice so why you always tripping up?

They'll come in droves
Wade all the crows
You're in the zone
You’ve been worth it, money ain't worth it
You better act right follow your nose so
'Til the sun light out
Who you gonna call when the window goes?
Who ya gonna call when the winter comes
Who to call when the work arrives?
It's all in a day, you can fall, you can waste time
Who in this world is grown up??
(Cause you're too burnt)
But it's all on the hill
And I'll owe it to you still
It's so patient, so urgent
So leave a little bit to say damn right

Time ain't that thorn in your side
And I was just standing on the ceiling
Hoping I'd fall in to you some night
But the future looked so long
And I wagered you were right
So I just wasted my whole life
When I could've all this time
