Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I learned to love the clock
when it took my day away
It stole the bread from my table
and still I let it stay
Each second had a name tag
each minute had a scar
I watched my mama fold the curtains
while the evening left the yard
[Pre-Chorus]
So I held my bitter hands
and I let them unclench
If the river wants my footsteps
I won't fight the bench
I won't fight the bench
[Chorus]
Love the time, love the time
while it slips through your hands
Love the time, love the time
like a drum in the sand
Love the time, love the time
before it fades your name
Love the time, love the time
and call it by your flame
[Verse 2]
My old man fixed his watch
with a knife and a grin
Said, "Boy, every tick can hurt you
or it can let you in"
I saw the fruit turn softer
on the porch in July
And every bruise on the peach tree
made the sweetness multiply
[Pre-Chorus]
So I held my bitter hands
and I let them unclench
If the river wants my footsteps
I won't fight the bench
I won't fight the bench
[Chorus]
Love the time, love the time
while it slips through your hands
Love the time, love the time
like a drum in the sand
Love the time, love the time
before it fades your name
Love the time, love the time
and call it by your flame
[Bridge]
When the rain writes over sorrow
and the road burns clean
Even loss can wear a halo
in the seam between
I kiss the cracked old morning
let it pass, let it pass
What leaves your door in silence
still can fill your glass
[Chorus]
Love the time, love the time
while it slips through your hands
Love the time, love the time
like a drum in the sand
Love the time, love the time
before it fades your name
Love the time, love the time
and call it by your flame
