[Verse 1]
Clock on my neck
Still ain’t mine
Every tick feel sick
Like I’m flatline
Scroll in my hand
Days in a drain
Whole year blurred out
Like a fast train
I been sayin’ “soon”
Since I was a kid
Now “soon” lookin’ back
Like, “yeah, you did”
I ain’t tryna fade
Into background noise
I want gray in my hair
With some loud-ass joys (yeah)
[Chorus]
I gotta catch every second
Can’t let it run
Grip that minute like I’m holdin’ a gun
Feels like time slippin’, I’m already late
So I move like a thief
Tryna rob my fate
I gotta catch every second
Right here, right now
Turn that fear in my chest
To a victory vow
Feels like time slippin’ right through my hands
So I live every breath
Like it’s all I planned (all I planned)
[Verse 2]
Old me talk sweet
New me talk clear
“I’ll try” sound cute
But it dies each year
Calendar stacked
Still I feel broke
Not talkin’ ’bout money
I mean old hopes
Mama said “boy,
You gon’ wake up, see
You ain’t scared of death
You just scared to be”
So if I fall flat
At least I ran fast
Rather crash in the light
Than be safe in the past (hey!)
[Chorus]
I gotta catch every second
Can’t let it run
Grip that minute like I’m holdin’ a gun
Feels like time slippin’, I’m already late
So I move like a thief
Tryna rob my fate
I gotta catch every second
Right here, right now
Turn that fear in my chest
To a victory vow
Feels like time slippin’ right through my hands
So I live every breath
Like it’s all I planned (all I planned)
[Bridge]
What if this hour
The one that I waste
Is the one where I win
If I pick up the pace?
What if that call
I never return
Is the bridge to the fire
That I swore I’d burn?
[Chorus]
I gotta catch every second
Can’t let it run
Grip that minute like I’m holdin’ a gun
Feels like time slippin’, I’m already late
So I move like a thief
Tryna rob my fate
I gotta catch every second
Right here, right now
Turn that fear in my chest
To a victory vow
Feels like time slippin’ right through my hands
So I live every breath
Like it’s all I planned (yeah, all I planned)
