Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Coffee gone cold on the table Sun’s already halfway high Every plan I swore I’d follow Drifts across that morning sky [Chorus] Feels like time slipping away Like water right through my hands I’m begging these hours to stay But they don’t care for my plans I wanna hold it Hold it Hold it while it’s leaving Make the best of every breath Before it’s gone and I’m still grieving [Verse 2] Old friend’s name on my phone screen I say “later ” then it fades How many chances did I bargain How many calls I never made [Chorus] Feels like time slipping away Like water right through my hands I’m begging these hours to stay But they don’t care for my plans I wanna hold it Hold it Hold it while it’s leaving Make the best of every breath Before it’s gone and I’m still grieving [Bridge] So I’ll run out in the rain Let it soak right through this coat Laugh too loud Love too hard Speak the words stuck in my throat [Chorus] Feels like time slipping away Like water right through my hands I’m begging these hours to stay But they don’t care for my plans I’m gonna hold it Hold it Hold it while it’s leaving Make the best of every breath While I’m here While I’m still breathing

Slow-burning modern blues, male vocals. Fingerpicked electric guitar with gentle tube grit, upright bass walking softly, brushed snare and ride cymbal. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d; chorus swells with organ pads and simple call-and-response backing vocals. Subtle bends and slides between phrases, with a short, soulful guitar fill between sections and a late-song dynamic lift before settling into a fading, lingering outro., blues
