(Verse 1)

I’ve got 86,400 seconds per day

I don’t wanna be the one who’s gonna waste them away

Caught up in this race

Tryna find my place

As you just keep on going

It feels like I am bound and what’s ahead no trace

I don’t know when or how, for now I’ll just wait

Future has no face

But I know it’s safe

As you just keep on going

(Chorus)

There’s just so much time I could lose

You move fast when I don’t want to

I wish I could go back but you flew

We never have enough of you

Remember when I didn’t worry what to do

Now all I do is dwell on every move

I’m so nervous and the weight just consumes

And as I look ahead, there’s no view

(Verse 2)

Don’t go too fast, don’t go too fast

Want this to last, want this to last

I’ve been growing up at lightening speed

And it has been so frightening

And I keep looking to my past

The more I contrast, the more I adapt

I have moved a lot, so I will recast

Looking at the possibilities of could have been and should have been

But the mold is cast, so please don’t distract

They’ve invented these devices

Aren’t they the nicest? It’ll save our time then

They’re supposed to be connecting us but they’re only deflecting us, defecting us

And to be honest they are wrecking us

They take us right out of the moment directing us

Seven hours a day, no wonder life’s oppressing us

Distressing us, so put it down I’m begging us

Some time being present would be something that’s refreshing us

That’s because the most valuable things aren’t things

I shouldn’t use time to be scrolling on posts

Need to spend my time with those I hold close to me

It’s easy to say but a harder approach

I’m running on the fly

And the stress will arise

I know I’ve got to try

Need to pay it some mind

So why’d I spend time

Scrolling on my device

Looking at others lives

When I could live in mine

(Chorus)

There’s just so much time I could lose

You move fast when I don’t want to

I wish I could go back but you flew

We never have enough of you

Remember when I didn’t worry what to do

Now all I do is dwell on every move

I’m so nervous and the weight just consumes

And as I look ahead, there’s no view

(Verse 3)

Yeah, caught up in anything but the present

I do it all the time, should have learned my lesson

Keep pressing, making the most of every second

But uncertainties of the future are so depressing

And sometimes, I don’t have hope in what’s ahead

In the rough times, these struggles play with my head

But I remember there’s a plan set for me instead

Even though I can’t see it, my futures already threaded

Yeah, it’s about contentment

We spend our whole lives focused on the vision

Tryna get somewhere give it all our attention

While everything in front of us we keep missing

I pray that I won’t fall into this lacking

Getting “somewhere” doesn’t really make us happy

It only leaves us empty and we just keep grabbing

Gotta enjoy the journey and focus on my passions

I’m here in the now

About to leave high school and I should be proud

But the stress of decisions ahead is weighing me down

And I’m watching how fast you’re moving and I’m like, how?

In the blink of an eye it’ll be time to move out

I’m wish I had hindsight, and I have so many doubts

But I can’t rewind, I’ll continue on this route

I don’t know what’s ahead but I know Who brings it about

Because of time

I know a lot

But it’s helped me realize

I don’t know a lot

Over all the years

And little knowledge I’ve got

I’ve learned it’s precious

And just can’t be bought

I know time will eventually kill me

But it’s here so I don’t have to live forever this way

So until then I’ll live life willing

Can’t control it but I know that what’s ahead is safe

On this long road I grew

A lot of times I’ve come unscrewed

But now I know who I’ll turn to

Even though there’s no preview

Cuz I know who

Is in control of you

In the end you’re through

Time, your time is due

Even now He’s true

He’ll be right on cue

He’s got the whole view

As my life ensues

(Chorus)

There’s just so much time I could lose

You move fast when I don’t want to

I wish I could go back but you flew

We never have enough of you

Remember when I didn’t worry what to do

Now all I do is dwell on every move

I’m so nervous and the weight just consumes

And as I look ahead, there’s no view

(End)

But You will be right there to help me through

You’ll help me through
