Verse 1
I feel the minutes racing like they know my name,
Running circles just ahead of me.
Every sunrise feels a little louder now,
Like it’s daring me to really see.
I used to drift through days without a second thought,
Let the hours fall where they would land.
But time keeps tugging at my sleeve so softly,
Saying “Hold on tight while you still can.”
Pre‑Chorus
There’s a quiet little voice inside that keeps me strong,
Telling me gently, “Don’t you waste this one.”
Chorus
’Cause every breath is gold dust slipping fast,
Every heartbeat is a spark I want to catch.
I’m just seconds in a world that never looks back,
Trying not to lose the moments that I have.
So I live like the moment might not come again,
Hold it like a flame cupped in my hands.
Verse 2
I used to save my joy for later days,
Hide it in the corners of my mind.
But “later” is a promise that can disappear,
And “someday” always falls behind.
Now I’m learning how to taste the morning light,
How to hear the meaning in the noise.
Every second has a secret waiting for me,
If I slow down enough to hear its voice.
Pre‑Chorus
There’s a rhythm in my chest that keeps me brave,
Whispering softly, “Live before you fade.”
Chorus
’Cause every breath is gold dust slipping fast,
Every heartbeat is a spark I want to catch.
I’m just seconds in a world that never looks back,
Trying not to lose the moments that I have.
So I live like the moment might not come again,
Hold it like a flame cupped in my hands.
Bridge (psychedelic, drifting, reflective)
Time bends, time breaks,
Time steals, time makes.
But it never gives back what you don’t take.
So I stay awake,
Hearts quake—
Every second is a life I get to shape.
Final Chorus
’Cause every breath is gold dust slipping fast,
Every heartbeat is a chance I can’t get back.
I’m just seconds in a world that never looks back,
Trying not to lose the moments that I have.
So I live like the moment might not come again,
Hold it like a flame cupped in my hands.
