Time's Got Me

Hm, mm, hm

I don't run the clock, the clock runs me

I don't got time, time's got me

So I'm done with the noise and the wait and see

I'm living it now while I still breathe

I don't run the clock, the clock runs me

I don't got time, time's got me

I used to stall, let days roll by

Kept saying, "Soon like soon, don't die"

Kept my head down, kept my mouth shut

Let a lot slide that shouldn't have once

Then I watch good years go up like smoke

Ain't no refund when the deal gets broke

Ain't no pause, ain't no replay

You blink twice and it's yesterday, yeah

I don't run the clock, the clock runs me

I don't got time, time's got me

So I'm done with the noise and the wait and see

I'm living it now while I still breathe

I don't run the clock, the clock runs me

I don't got time, time's got me

Have folks talk like they know my life

From the cheap seats under ballroom lights

Let them judge, let them guess, let them try

They don't feel these miles, they don't pay this price

I've been broke, been tired, been low on sleep

Still showed up when it was hard to be me

I don't owe the world no perfect plan

I'm just doing what I can while I can

I don't run the clock, the clock runs me

I don't got time, time's got me

So I'm done with the noise and the wait and see

I'm living it now while I still breathe

I don't run the clock, the clock runs me

I don't got time, time's got me

So call who you love, say what you mean

Quit saving your life for a someday dream

Hold your line, don't fold that quick

Time's gonna take it, so you better live, yeah

But I don't run the clock, the clock runs me

I don't got time, time's got me

So if I sound cold, that's just truth in me

I'm done letting fear try to drive for me

I don't run the clock, the clock runs me

I don't know, don't know

I don't run the clock, the clock runs me

I don't got time, time's got me, ooh-ooh

I don't run the clock, the clock runs me

I don't got time, time's got me
