All We Have Is Time
You say “all we have is time”
I relax and stop worrying
I take my time watching how you move your hands while you talk
When I wake up, I lay in bed a little while longer
You say you’ll be 30 minutes late so I wait and read a book
I stop and take in every color of every flower
I drive slow and appreciate every story written on each house
Oh, how all we have is time
You say “all we have is time”
But, I stress wondering how I’ll get everything done
I wake up grumpy because I missed my alarm
The whole day feels gone
I rush to plan something
And everyone’s late
Now we’ve wasted our time in the sun
I forget to go visit my dad
And now I feel like I’m an awful daughter
I yell at you because you missed the exit
Oh… all we have is time
