Don't Let Time Run Out

Tick… tick… tick
We all froze, we all stuck
Thought tomorrow gonna save us up
But time don’t wait

We were stuck, yeah, all of us trapped
Turtle shells on, never lookin’ back
Silence heavy, love turned cold
Waitin’ for a change that never took hold
Now the clock ran out, no breath to find
We lost the fight to the hands of time
Don’t get stuck, break free, rewind
Love in the moment is the only kind

Mama signed papers, house split two
Father in the shadows, kids hid too
Walls went up, no bridge, no sound
Years went by but no one broke ground

Each heart locked, scared to fall
Waitin’ on the other one to make that call
But pride like chains, it held too tight
So they let decades roll into night

We were stuck, yeah, all of us trapped
Turtle shells on, never lookin’ back
Silence heavy, love turned cold
Waitin’ for a change that never took hold
Now the clock ran out, no breath to find
We lost the fight to the hands of time
Don’t get stuck, break free, rewind
Love in the moment is the only kind

Now the children old, carryin’ lines on their face
Father on the bed, final breath, final place
Eyes full of sorrow, whispers in the air
“We could’ve healed long ago if we dared”

But none stepped out, none broke through
Regret’s the only thing they all held true
Three souls frozen, nobody won
Time took the chance, and the chance is done

Don’t stay stuck, don’t hold still
Love is a muscle, gotta bend, gotta will
Don’t wait years for a deathbed plea
Start right now, set your spirit free

We were stuck, yeah, all of us trapped
Turtle shells on, never lookin’ back
Silence heavy, love turned cold
Waitin’ for a change that never took hold
Don’t get stuck, break free, rewind
Love in the moment is the only kind
