Cant The Future Just Wait

               E
Can't the future just wait?
                G#7
Can't the deadlines come fashionably
 late?
           C#m           A
I could push every goal back, take 
control back
                  Am            
If they'd roll back the rate, at 
        E
which time starts to fly
           G#7
Never landing or standing by
        G#m7            A7
Never taking a break, ever making me
 retry
         C7              D
We 'nickel and dime' every 'quarter 
to two'
        Emaj7
But maybe it's time to let time pass
 through

[Verse 2]
            E
If the future is bright
                  G#7
It doesn't shine with that 'end of 
the tunnel light'
               C#m             A
More like a deer in the headlights, 
sudden red lights
Continues after the ad

                     Am       
Or 'you're dead' lights as the 
           E
angler fish bite, it's not fair
                  G#7
The path is clear but it's clear 
back there
           G#m7             A7
What's ahead no one knows, but it's 
closing in we swear
            C7               D
Still not in my prime, I have so 
much to do
       Emaj7
But maybe it's time to let time pass
 through

E                             G#7
    I can't just rewrite decisions 
when life get strange
            C#m
Should I go with my gut on which 
door I should shut, I'm unsure
                A               
I'd keep exploring this rut, but 
        C#maj7
what good is time without change?
Move on
'Cause things never last
Just move on
'Cause it goes too fast and the past
 has passed
So move on
No one likes an ending
So what's with the attention we keep
 on giving them?

Why are we still spending so much 
time
Dreading our lives instead of living
 them?
Why do we try to divert the river
When the water is what will deliver 
us where we need to go?

We may never know why
Time is always in limited supply
But we'll live to regret it
If we get it
And then let it slip by
It can never rewind

Once you've lost it, it's hard to 
find
Take the journey in stride
When your plans have been sidelined
Every hourly chime could begin 
something new
So maybe it's time to let time pass 
through

Not passing by, but passing through
'Til the well runs dry
Just passing through
