[Verse 1]
I found your old porch chair
By the back fence gate
Sun on your silver hair
Looked like a second fade
Your hands still know the latch
Your laugh still fills the room
But time left little marks
In the corners of you
[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep thinking
I should call more often
I keep thinking
I should come by more
[Chorus]
Give them more time
Give them more time
Let the hours slow down
Let the years be kind
Give them more time
Give them more time
I’m still your kid
And I’m not done yet
[Verse 2]
Dad on the kitchen stool
Reading through the ache
Mom with the same blue bowl
Humming while she bakes
Gray in the morning light
Soft on both your heads
Like winter finding fields
Before the wheat is dead
[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep thinking
I should stay a little longer
I keep thinking
I should learn your roads
[Chorus]
Give them more time
Give them more time
Let the hours slow down
Let the years be kind
Give them more time
Give them more time
I’m still your kid
And I’m not done yet
[Bridge]
If I could fold the clock
I’d leave it on your shelf
I’d bring back easy Sundays
And a younger version of myself
I’d sit here at this table
Until the whole night bled
Just to hear your stories
One more time instead
[Chorus]
Give them more time
Give them more time
Let the hours slow down
Let the years be kind
Give them more time
Give them more time
I’m still your kid
And I’m not done yet
[Outro]
Gray at the temple
Warm in the light
I’m learning love is time
And time is how we try
