[Verse 1]
Can't the future just wait
Can't the deadlines come fashionably late
I could push every goal back
Take control back
If they'd rolled back the rate at which time starts to fly
Never landing or standing by
Never taking a break
AM7
Never making me retry
We "Nickle and Dime" every "Quarter to Two"
EM7
But maybe it's time to let time pass through
[Verse 2]
If the future is bright
It doesn't shine with that "end of the tunnel" light
More like a dear in the headlights, sudden red lights,
Or "you're deadlights" as the angler fish bite
It's not fair
The past is clear, but it's clear back there
What's ahead, no one knows
AM7
But it's closing, in we swear
Still not in my prime, I have so much to do
EM7
But maybe it's time to let time pass through
[Bridge]
I can't just rewrite decisions when life gets strange
Should I go with my gut
On which door
I should shut?
I'm unsure;
I'd keep exploring this rut
But what good is time without change?
(Instrumental)
Move on
AM7
'Cause things never last
EM7
Just move on
AM7
'Cause it goes too fast, and the past has passed
So move on
No one likes an ending
AM7
So what's with the attention we keep on giving them?
Why are we still spending so much time dreading our lives, instead of living them?
Why do we try to divert the river
When the water is what will deliver us
Where we need to go?
[Verse 3]
We may never know why
Time is always in limited supply
But we'll live to regret it
If we get it
And then let it slip by
It can never rewind
Once you've lost it, it's hard to find;
Take the journey in stride
When your plans have been sidelined
Every hourly chime could begin something new
So maybe it's time to let time pass through
[Outro]
Not passing by
But passing through
Till the well runs dry
Just passing through
