Lyrics
Verse 1
Time’s pulling tricks again
stretching thin, snapping back
Cheap wall clock skipping steps
like it’s losing track
Ice knocks in a sweating glass
tiny avalanches fall
Every second disappears
before it hits at all
I watch it slip its outline
right out of my hands
Whole day gone in a blink
I don’t understand
⸻
Chorus
But baby, time with you
don’t act right
Minutes go soft at the edges
lose their bite
We fall into the couch
stay out of sight
Light keeps shifting on your face
like it can’t decide
Baby, time with you
goes sideways
⸻
Verse 2
Coffee cold on the counter
still halfway there
Book face down, giving up
in the middle of a thought somewhere
Your shirt’s some band you don’t know
threads coming loose at the seam
Hair doing what it wants
like it answers to a dream
Sun cuts through the window
dust turns bright in the air
Lands slow across your shoulder
like it meant to meet you there
I drop every question
I was trying to chase
I don’t need the answer
I just stay
⸻
Chorus
Cause baby, time with you
don’t act right
Minutes go soft at the edges
lose their bite
We fall into the couch
stay out of sight
Light keeps shifting on your face
like it can’t decide
Baby, time with you
goes sideways
⸻
Bridge
strip back, add a soft rhythmic pulse
Let the phone light up and die
let it call and complain
Let the world keep running laps
we don’t need that lane
add subtle lift, syncopated accents
If the day wants to outrun us
let it fade, let it spin
We found somewhere it can’t reach
and we’re staying in
⸻
Chorus
Oh baby, time with you
don’t act right
Minutes go soft at the edges
lose their bite
We stay tangled in the cushions
out of time, out of sight
Day slips out the window
but it leaves us behind
Baby, time with you
goes sideways
Baby, time with you
don’t act right
