Going ten over the limit when I didn’t have a place to be

I was dreaming ‘bout the future, but the present got away from me

I only focused on a measure, and I didn’t hear the whole symphony

I didn’t hear the beauty

Called my mother, couldn’t help her on a crossword question

She’s a wordsmith, it’s a daily obsession

I wonder if she sees in me her own reflection

Don’t wait up for the closure

It won’t ring the door bell

We live and then we die, no other order

But we all process each moment in parallel

On the water with dad, hoping we might get a couple bites

But there’s a rain coming in, all we’re catching is tangled lines

We’ll laugh it off, sing a song, and try another time

Don’t wait up for the closure

It won’t ring the door bell

We live and then we die, no other order

But we all process each moment in parallel

I don’t deserve this

So many blessings on my plate

I gotta keep the most important thing straight

Big brother’s on, gonna log in and play a few

Hundreds of miles away, and we’re right back in the groove

He’s a constant even when I don’t know what to do
