Lyrics

I got a thousand songs inside my head,
A thousand things I still wanna say,
There’s melodies I hear when I wake up,
And words that keep me up till break of day.
I used to think I needed endless hours,
To build each song from beginning to end,
But now I’ve found a different kind of power—
A little help to make the hours bend.
Pre-Chorus
Some people say, “Why do you make so many?”
I say, “Why would I make just one?”
There’s only so many sunsets waiting,
And I’m not done singing when they’re gone.
CHORUS
I’m gonna write while I still have time,
Turn every thought into a song that shines.
If I’ve got a melody burning inside,
I don’t wanna leave it behind.
Let the machines help me carry the load,
I’ll put my heart in every note.
I may not have forever—
But I’ve got today,
So I’m gonna write while I still have time.
Verse 2
AI can give me a hand with the pieces,
Help me get the words and music in place,
But it can’t feel the life that I’ve been living,
Or put the memories behind my face.
The laughter, the heartaches, and the people,
The roads I traveled getting where I am,
That’s the part nobody else can give you—
That’s the part that makes a song a man.
Pre-Chorus
So let somebody else count all the reasons,
Let somebody else decide what’s enough,
I’ve got stories still waiting to be written,
And I’ve got love I still wanna turn into stuff.
CHORUS
I’m gonna write while I still have time,
Turn every thought into a song that shines.
If I’ve got a melody burning inside,
I don’t wanna leave it behind.
Let the machines help me carry the load,
I’ll put my heart in every note.
I may not have forever—
But I’ve got today,
So I’m gonna write while I still have time.
Bridge
One day there’ll be no morning coffee,
No guitar waiting by my chair,
No unfinished song on the computer,
No melody floating through the air.
So while my hands can still reach the keyboard,
While my voice can still find a rhyme,
I’ll keep turning moments into music—
One more song at a time.
Final Chorus
I’m gonna write while I still have time,
Leave a little piece of this heart of mine.
Every song is a moment I saved,
Every melody says I was here, I was brave.
Let the machines help me get it done,
I’ve got too many songs to leave unsung.
I may not have forever—
But I’ve got today,
And that’s enough to write one more song.
Outro
One more song…
One more story…
One more chance to say what’s on my mind.
One more song…
While I still have time.
