Cant The Future Just Wait

               E
Can't the future just wait?
                G#7
Can't the deadlines come fashionably late?
           C#m           A
I could push every goal back, take control back
                  Am                    E
If they'd roll back the rate, at which time starts to fly
           G#7
Never landing or standing by
        G#m7            A7
Never taking a break, ever making me retry
         C7              D
We 'nickel and dime' every 'quarter to two'
        Emaj7
But maybe it's time to let time pass through

            E
If the future is bright
                  G#7
It doesn't shine with that 'end of the tunnel light'
               C#m             A
More like a deer in the headlights, sudden red lights
                     Am                  E
Or 'you're dead' lights as the angler fish bite, it's not fair
                  G#7
The path is clear but it's clear back there
           G#m7             A7
What's ahead no one knows, but it's closing in we swear
            C7               D
Still not in my prime, I have so much to do
       Emaj7
But maybe it's time to let time pass through
E                             G#7
    I can't just rewrite decisions when life get strange
            C#m
Should I go with my gut on which door I should shut, I'm unsure
                A                       C#maj7
I'd keep exploring this rut, but what good is time without change?
Move on
'Cause things never last
Just move on
'Cause it goes too fast and the past has passed
So move on
No one likes an ending
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?
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
Not passing by, but passing through
'Til the well runs dry
Just passing through
