Every Second

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.
