Who Is Time

Time on the road
Bugs on the glass
Motel coffee
Melting in wax
Clock on the dash
Blurring the miles
You in my head
Staying a while

Time in my veins
Slow burning fuse
I feel it racing
Anyway I move

Who is time
Shaking my bones
Sitting in the passenger
Scrolling my phone
Where can I buy it
How much does it cost
To hold you a second
After you're lost
Time in my heart
Pounding in waves
What comes after time
When it all fades

Time in a box
Tickets and tags
Old movie stubs
Photos that sag
Laughing in ink
Names I half know
Whole little worlds
I had to let go

Time in my veins
Soft silver thread
Pull and it tightens
All that we said

Who is time
Knocking my door
Walking through the kitchen
Staining the floor
Where can I buy it
Who runs the store
I'd pay every secret
Just for one more
Time in my heart
Flickering stage
What comes after time
After this page

Is there a room
Where the clocks all sleep
Where nobody counts
What we get to keep
If I see you there
Past the last chime
Will we still care
What they called time

Who is time
Calling my bluff
Leaving me holding
The smallest of stuff
Where can I buy it
I search and I search
Finding only moments
Pressed in this verse
Time in my heart
Refusing to age
What comes after time
Maybe your name
