Bright colored backpacks
Laughing in math class
Rushing towards
A life we thought we knew

But I miss the long days
Chasing the sun rays
Wasting my time on what I like

Cause now I chase pavements
Just watching the days tick
By and by, alone every night

'Cause the days are to-do lists
And ""wish I coulds"" and regrets
And often you're alone
Don't know why, just how it goes

'Cause one day I was set down
from my Dad's arms, on the ground
Never picked up again
But I don't remember when


So I'm driving the long way
Taking up more space
Trying to save
What's left of my time

I hope for her sake
There's life ahead that I take
The reigns straight to the clouds
So I can make her proud

But I'm walking through rose thorns
And thinking of war torn time and lives
We'll never see again

So I watch the sunrise
And wait for those blue skies
To wish for more time
For that little girl

'Cause there's never enough time
