Karaoké Passing Through (Can't the Future Just Wait) Kaden MacKay

Can't the future just wait

Can't the deadlines come fashionably late

I could push every goal back take control back if they'd roll back the rate

At which time starts to fly

Never landing or standing by

Never taking a break

Ever making me retry

We nickel-and-dime every quarter to two

But maybe it's time to let time pass through

If the future is bright

It doesn't shine with that end of the tunnel light

More like a deer in the headlights sudden red lights

Or you're dead lights as the anglerfish bite

It's not fair

The past is clear but it's clear back there

What's ahead, no one knows but it's closing in, we swear

Still not in my prime

I have so much to do

But maybe it's time to let time pass through

I can't just rewrite decisions when life gets strange

Should I go with my gut

On which door I should shut

I'm unsure

I'd keep exploring this rut

But what good is time without change

Move on 'cos things never last

Just move on 'cos 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 'till the well runs dry

Just passing through
