I Need More Time

Woke up this morning and my mouth was dry

The clouds were rushing downstream through the sky

I get a blind kind of panic that locks me inside

My mind numb and my heart racing

I am a man with too many reasons

On a road with too many signs

I play a deck with too many cards

Too many games of too many kinds

The seasons turn so fast and I’m moving too slow

I get blown off course, like everyone I know

I need more time, I need more time

To make good on the promises I made to the world

When the world was moving slower

Tick, tock, tick, tock

As one by one the faces we love

Slide away into deep, deep waters

I’ve still so much to give, I’ve still so much to learn

I’ve still so much to love, still so much to burn

I need more time, I need more time

To make good on the promises I made to the world

When the world was moving slower
