Passing Through (Can't the Future Just Wait)

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 '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
